lol, I've seen that picture in an ad for a supercharger.
The caption reads: "Supercharge anything!"

If you mod it to the extent where you are getting better or equal fuel economy with more power then you are leaning out your fuel mixture probably to the point of unsafe levels. With a standalone and closed loop O2 system you can probably regain cruise fuel economy but you cannot safely make more power without adding fuel into the combustion chamber (unless of course with some form of injection, be it water, alcohol, methonal, ethanol). With my RX-7 and Haltech E11v2, I can mimick stock fuel economy figures but as soon as I open it up, the gas needle will plunge.BigmacK wrote:
Actually, when you mod grocery getters the right way, you not only gain power, you get improved fuel mileage.
Running effecently does so much for an engine.
The needle drops when you open up any vehicle.
Your right, but in my post, I was refering to cruise to load under light throttle for fuel economy. Sorry it wasn't clear enough.
Nice car by the way.

lol. Ain't that the truth.
Well, here's a video example of my Cavi at WOT. I didn't shoot it, and my ShiftPlus controler speeds up the shifts and clutch engagement on starts, but other than that, it's pretty accurate.
It's really not that bad for a 2.2L I-4.

Crazy american's! j/k
To run a 5.7lt car in england who cost you a fortune,probally why we have so many cars that max spec is 2.5lt.
Surely a k&n air system normally only increase bhp by about 10,so spending $80 for an air filter(filter surround) seems a bit stupid really.
I would love a toyota supra but again i would be living in a dream world if i thought i could own one before i was 30.
At the moment i'm drving a badass 1.4 206 loaded with clears indicators and a "badboy"(lol) princess sun shade in thr rear.Not to mention a big chuffin dent in the drivers side door.
Seeing what you all wrote just gives me another reason why i would like to move to america.

6 grand? I was thinking the $50-100 rangeBigmacK wrote:
It's a Powerdyne SilentDrive Belt Drive Supercharger. That puppy runs at 6 psi and has a custom fit, RAIS attached to it. Not bad for $6000.
Who's got a FWD grocery getter?stockFD3S wrote:
Why modify FWD grocery getters at all? They will get worse gas mileage.
I have a chevy avalanche, i put in a hypertech programmer, flowmasters, and a K-N cold air intake. it has a 5.3 liter, and u can hear the air flowing in now. It has a sweet little moan. The programmer, made my top speed go form 99mph to 128mph, not bad for a 6,000 pound truck.
Thing is, that filter is re-usable and good for the remaining life of the car. They serve as the last filter you will ever buy.{uscm}Jyden wrote:

Technically, I do. I'll take some pics in the daylight tomorrow, so expect some pics to come.Prodie wrote:

Oh And Awful, your truck sounds cool. I bet the Flowmasters sound great.
