MPG with supercharger

[chistoso]

Man, I'm glad you got the same results. I was starting to think I did the math wrong and was looking like a dumbass with my post I wish I was getting what you're getting though, but I can't complain.

Yeah but the .5 in displacement might bite me in the ass.. I wanted to make a post earlier but with the numbers I came up with, I didn't want to look like a fool either so I was hoping someone else would come by and post something similar to justify mine. Glad you did.

Looks like I'll be coming to Dallas in first week of august but it's not set in stone.. I'll keep you and BOSS posted.. Right now I'm running a 3.73 posi.. I was looking into the U255 wheels, they are 80lbs with tire, that alone can make a big difference.. Those and the BOSS 330 are some of the lighter wheels around..

Ay chistoso, what part of cali did you go to. Make it back to the Bay?

I was out in Long Beach/Compton and made my way up to Bakersfield to visit family. Going back out in Nov. going to Oakland/Alameda for a football game and check on a house I own in Sunnyvale..

I have the radix and i only get 13-15 mpg. What is wrong with mine?

What other mods are you running? Are you using the SuperChips tune?

 

[Ducati18]

Yes, I am using the tune that came with the kit. I have corsa sport exhaust and gm performance cold air kit. I also have 22's

That is where your problem is

How much would a maggie set me back? Im sold!

 

[JennaBear]

Depends on which system/finish you want. They have retail prices at www.magnacharger.com but if you are really serious shoot me an email ([email protected]) with the system part number you are interested in, and I will give you the Charger fan discount.

What can I do to fix that?

 

[JennaBear]

Get a custom tune, the SuperChips is not at all optimized at part throttle.

So the best thing is to go get it dyno tuned. The will help mpgs and hp right?

 

[JennaBear]

Only if you are doing a full dyno tune (aka a load bearing dyno with part throttle mapping) and with a competent tuner. A lot of folks will go to a dyno for a tune and only get a few WOT pulls which you can not get a good tune off of.

So do i send off for a good tune or what. Sorry I have never dealt with any thing like this before.

Whoever you go with, just make sure they have experience tuning a F/I setup, as they are completely different animals from a N/A setup.
