"Holy great gas mileage!! , BatmaN" 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Geoffrey on  Tue May 8 00:47 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I finally did it....!!!

The gas mileage finally broke 300 per tank..I was a proud papa.

After some serious mods to the engine and trans I was getiing shity gas milage..I think the VX3 cam made me run rich and the 2200 stall tourque convert didnt help to much..but when I did a tune up plugs wires rotor cap etc...it went up alittle bit. from 200-225 miles to . approx. 225-250miles/tank

The big differance was when I made the cold air induction..

after that I drove to W. VA in the moutains too and I got 310 miles per tank...and I think I could have driven further too.

I think I balanced out the rich fuel mixture by allowing more air in

I made a pretty free flowing intake so I think it actually made a differance/ and I dont smell the gas anymore...

Wow I actually improved my milage by f*ckin around w/ my brick

So am I on Crack or did the intake system actually do what I claimed or should I put down the pipe..

Thanks

not so broke in N. Va

Geoffrey
