oh yeah, it's gonna be a long 3-4 months til I get some tunes done. I guess this way though, my OEM tires will last a little bit longer than I thought

I don't really monitor my gas mileage. I fill the truck up every 3 weeks to 5 weeks (so roughly once a month).

it is 12.5 to 13 mpg dead on every single time for months now.



but with the way this blower works, you are using all the OEM HP and TQ about 75% of the time since the boost bypass is open. So I somewhat expect my mileage to stay the same...as long as the foot remains out of the pedal


if not, oh well. I knew that a Supercharger wasn't a "Gas Friendly" mod going into this. The old saying "Gotta Pay to Play" is very appropriate here
