Default Amazing!! My gas mileage has gone up since I added the MREV mod!!

I've had the Motordyne MREV mod on my car now for about 1 month now and before the MREV mod I was averaging about 18.5 MPG.

1 month later I'm averaging 21 MPG.

You talking about the MREV lower plenum on Non-MREV motors?

No, I'm talking about the spacer + the modified lower 287 plenum on my Rev-up engine.

SOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Everyone drives differently and I am always stepping on the gas hence why my gas mileage is lower than yours. My driving habits have always been the same since I got the car.

Ciao Diesel, I've probably asked you before, but have you done any ECU tuning at all after the MREV install? Apart from the mpg you're getting, are you happy with the mod? How many miles in the month? City or motorway driving? I have sold mt Crawford plenum and saving up for the MREV...

No ecu tuning yet. I'm waiting to put more mods on the car before I do that. Aside from the mpg I'm very happy with the MREV. The car pulls ALOT harder in the midrange. If you want that lost torque back on the car the MREV is the way to go. My peak torque went up 11 and throught the rpm range as high as 20-25.

Alot of my driving is city. Hardly any highway driving and I drive alot at WOT.

I can't wait to get my MREV on. It's sitting in my closet, gonna install it soon. Diesel, does it do anything to the noise of the car? BTW, did you get the plus kit?

I didn't notice too much noise difference. Maybe a little bit of a growl. It might be different for you though since you have extra mods. I was completely stock before I got the MREV. I got the MREV Plus

Not surprising. Unless you're flogging it all the time, you usually do get better gas mileage with breathing mods. Car doesn't have to work as hard getting all that air in and out.

Andy, do you offer the "plus" upgrade package shown on the motordyne site? Also, do you offer the copper option?
Diesel, is yours with the "plus" upgrade package? I do a lot of motorway driving and hardly any in the city...we'll see!
