I have been pondering about WI for some time now since I might be trying to make close to 500whp on the stock motor soon. I really think I might do this for the added safety esp. as it gets closer to next summer.

Give me 10 minutes. I will go outside and snaps some pics. I just got the car back from the body shop. It is a bit dirty cause it was raining earlier, but I will make a new thread in the G section.

Ive got 6k miles on my TT setup. at 400whp getting 19mpg or so. but im bout to turn the boost up and hopefully get aroung 600whp so i have a fealing the gas milage will go down alot. but if your not running alot of boost and you have a good a/f ratio then your Z will be reliable and get good gas milage.

Mine is well driven daily, and I get usually 21mpg city for the most part... And on my trip to NC recently I was 31mpg... Though alot of over 80mph was going on

So I pretty much stay out of boost so my mpg are still very good... I was impressed before in stock trim esp. hwy mpg... And after boost it's still all good, unless I want to feel the boost than the gas goes away

Remember guys, the fuel computer in the car is going to read wrong if you have changed or added injectors. Don't quote your fuel mileage based on the in-car computations.

Alright newb comment here, but I thought that reading was from what is left in the tank kind of thing... So I didn't think size of injectors would effect that reading...

So I guess it reads from somewhere else.

the computer doesn't exactley compensate for the fact your running larger injectors...if it was true...i would love the 29mpg it was saying...but in fact i was getting near to 12-15....only in my dreams :-) but now back to N/A getting around 19.6 with sparatic WOT's here and there....still running an upgraded fuel pump too...
