How many miles/tanks have you run since the install? Hand calc?

My CCK should be here tomorrow. I'll be putting in that, the WW, and the SS HPX as well. Then I'll tackle the in-tank mods. I'll watch my mileage as well.

Since I installed the DFA CCK in April, I didn't think that I had seen any mileage improvements.

HOWEVER... looking back through my records it does now look like my mileage has increased a bit.

Seems that I've picked up about 0.5-0.75 mpg in the city and maybe a little over 1 mpg on the highway.

I attached my latest update on my spreadsheet so you can see for yourself. I need to add my last fillup into the data, but that's only one data point that is missing form the records right now.

I guess that makes sense. Less air getting into the injectors means a better mix in the cylinder. Can't wait to get mine in!!!
