By very wild cam... What do you mean?
I have a mildish cam... 2.2k-7k... (maybe it was 6.5k... cant remember) Cam lag is HORIBLE (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (just kidding... In comparison to when the cam hits, its like 1/2 the power.... lol) I expect to get 20+ mpg highway when I go with FI. city should be 15ish. All depends on how you drive... lol There have been claims of 25.. 30 and 33 I think.. With SO much torque, it takes like a feather on the throttle to maintain 65 on the freeway. A different gear in 5th, such as an H gear... that could bring it down to 2.2k would allow for a much better MPG.. |
