Wanna know what I get with a trailer with a Mustang on it, with the cruise set at 80mph, going up the mountains on the Mass Pike to Lebanon Valley?

Evening guys.
The fuel is why my sister in law got a Honda CRZ, it get about 38-40 on the run.
Miles I average 11-12 running around with my 6.0 and can get 14 on the freeway.
It also weights in at 12k all the time with 4.10's in the rear.

Aaron, thank you!

I think you need more volume in your plenum.

i dont know jim, the first one was collecting fuel and draining it back out before it would get to the ports. here is the new super compact high velocity low volume design....

Aaron, do you really think a lack of velocity is causing the atomized fuel to fall out of the charge?
The runners seem awfully short in this design. It may fuel okay at WOT and be **** everywhere else.

Good Morning!

Anybody need a good F350 4wd Crew? A friend of mine is selling his '90 XL for 2500. This guy is a Very meticulous mechanic so the truck is in awesome shape. He mainly used it for camping at Nascar events, he has a slide in camper. I'm not positive but I believe it has the 460 and a stick.

I think part of the problem was the abrupt change of direction of flow on the old design, especially the outside cylinders.
