Running SUPER RICH ??
Well im not tuned yet on my 3.125 V1 blower...
I think im running really rich because Im going threw gas like water. have the set top screw on the cartech just to eye and not really set right.....any feedback...Im just really not boosting all that much yet and it seems like im running threw gas really fast

See they don't tell you that until its too late!
Power = Fuel = Money!
Wait until you actually start boosting!
All of us in here talk about how fast our cars are, but we don't talk about the cost. My heart sank as my gas needle would go down right in front of my eyes during boost!

I've been running through gas lately, mostly due to city driving, but 270-280 miles on the tank!? Thank God on the highway I still get 320+. Im not tuned yet either and I've been running superrich for the past 8 months, will my mileage ameliorate with tuning or will my foot just get heavier?

I get 25 around town provided I don't boost....
Problem is that with a 2.87" Pulley, I start boosting around 2600-2800RPM
So it's pretty hard to drive ultra-conservative to save gas.
Once I'm boosting, I'm probably doing 16-18MPG.
On a hard run, I wouldn't be surprised if at WOT I'm doing 10MPG.
I put the Cartech on last week to fix my lean condition up top and haven't tuned yet - so i'm pretty rich. My gas mileage is WAY down on this tank due to that.
So yes, tuning makes your car get better mileage.....obviously.....less fuel used = less fuel used per mile.
