I get 17-18 mixed city/hwy at 10psi moderate driving and ~22mpg strictly on the highway.

 

on a vortech supercharger, what would be a conservative yet still giving enough power tune. I want to thave the tune conervative enough to not worry abut the engine while ripping it but i also wana get the most out of the supercharger

 

u can run the most aggro tune and still not create enough trq to bend the rods if you are not knocking.

 

what do you mean by knocking? , im sorry im new to this game lolool by learning quickly

 

From Wiki.
Knocking (also called knock, detonation or spark knock, pinking in UK English or pinging in US English) in spark-ignition internal combustion engines occurs when combustion of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder starts off correctly in response to ignition by the spark plug, but one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front. The fuel-air charge is meant to be ignited by the spark plug only, and at a precise time in the piston's stroke cycle. The peak of the combustion process no longer occurs at the optimum moment for the four-stroke cycle. The shock wave creates the characteristic metallic "pinging" sound, and cylinder pressure increases dramatically. Effects of engine knocking range from inconsequential to completely destructive. It should not be confused with pre-ignition (or preignition), as they are two separate events

 

10mpg.

 

and how do u prevent and make sure that ure engine doesnt knock?

 

^^ make sure you get it installed and tuned correctly.

 

Also I believe you can buy a "knock sensor" which retards timing to correct the problem... or so i've been told. I don't have one myself personally...

 

Thanks guys, i really appreciate it

 

wow you forgot about the gas issue?

Dont worry just get a good EMS, tune and you should be fine... Oh I forgot, you need the highest octane you can get so forget about using Regular gas with FI... lol With FI you dont cut corners with gas quality, this is the reason I only go to Shell, Sunoco or BP if both are not available. I hate Exxon/Mobile because my car knock with that gas!!! I got a couple of bad tank of gas on 2 separate occasion and got the gas from 2 different location and 2 different state too

 

ya, even with the stock g i only try to use shelll v-power. Any opinions on whats the best ems?

 

how much can you afford? If you want the best then you need at least $3000.. Next best thing is Utec for under $1000 but dont expect it to be as good or even better than one of those Full standalone EMS... I'm saying this because some people here expect to much from Utec but yet to cheap to buy a full stanalone

 

i run 600whp tune on 100 oct. with no issues on utec(550whp on 93 oct). I think it has alot to do with the experience of the tuner and whether or not you are willing to pay for a good tune. even though the tuner has a tt setup similar to mine, he only used that as a baseline for tuning my car. i think sometimes people sell the utec short because its not as expansive as the standalones.
