for those lucky enought o have a s/c out there, has your f/c dropped? and if so how much? Im just wondering if its worth to save up and get it or just trick the car out different ways?
sometimes madness is confused with passion.......but is there any other way to live?
f/c (Fuel Comsuption) will drop because you will be boosting. If you can keep the RPM's under 3000 you should get close to what you get now. when in boost you are throwing more fuel into the engine thus your gas milease will go down.

ok then....thats what I figured but I wanted to make sure that my f/c would be horribly decreased with everyday driving. I think im sold on saving up for one now.bluecrush again thanx for the advice

I don't have experience here but I know that the SC runs rich to help keep things cool so I would expect a significant mileage decrease seeing how you would be using more fuel even with optimum A/F.
