Cobb AccessPort Now Available!
It was said that one of the negative effects of the mod would be gas mileage. Does anyone know what type of difference we would be talking? Of course I mean how much more would mileage be affected under the same driving conditions.

It wouldnt suprise if even under hard driving conditions, the mileage is unchanged. The whole calibration is optimized for efficient power production, so we arent necessarily dumping more fuel into the engine. If you look at our before and after chart, there was little change to the AF ratio.

But steady state cruise, or your average MPG, should not be negatively affected.
