Good articles, How much of a reduction in gas mileage can I expect. I drive a little over 100 miles a day and I curently get about 23, 24 mile to the gallon, with my stock LS1.

I just did the Dragon trip and like they say under normal driving you won't even know its there..I avg 30 mpg on the hwy in 6th gear.....and if you look at my sig you can see what other mods I have.....around town..I have no idea....I honestly think you won't notice much because you can't consider all the times you get into boost just so you can
