I've read 420HP but you'll need headstuds to accomplish that

Just to clarify, you don't need studs to get those numbers. Studs in themselfs are not any kind of performance mod. It's just a perventive mod. If you are running those kind of numbers you really should have studs though.

Just upgraded to Gearhead Performance's Street Race Lite. NICE. And since I CAN control my foot when necessary, it's looking like I'll see a substantial increase in fuel mileage, if the first tank is any indication. More testing to follow.

Thanks, Matt!

you will need to hand calc that stuff. they mess with mfds values and that wacks the mpg display on the dash.

What mileage display on the dash?

I still do mine the old fashioned way: I CALCULATE it.

Mixed city/highway was estimated at 17+ on the trip from DFW to Austin, with the city in Austin. We'll see if the numbers hold. I'll have to wait a while to get a true highway run.
