Okay, so I just made some great progress with the car recently...
First, I revised my grille block, now blocking off the fog light holes and blocking a cavity in the top of the upper grille for smoother flow...


And I finally got my UltraGauge mounted! It's not in absolutely optimum viewing position, but at least I can view it and grab data on the fly...



So far, I've learned that between 7 and 9% throttle(measured at the pedal, not the throttle plate) will hold speed at 50 to 55mph, with flash readings in the low to mid forties(MPG)

I've also learned that my Intake mod has resulted in IATs at around 10* above ambient, which isn't bad for a near free mod

As soon as i started driving with the UG, the onboard MPG readout(which was zeroed out when I bought the car) immediately started climbing... That's nice to see such a drastic change, since I've put like 3500 miles on the car...
