I only live a mile from work and I am kind of in the city, so I haven't driven my 360 very far. I was getting 11 MPG around town[:@] Today I went on a 100 mile round trip. I filled her up a reset the computer. I averageg 15.1 on the trip. Yeaaaaaaaah
Vader, are you going to do both mods at the same time? I'm curious as to the performance of the headers alone. I've read that some headers will loose too much low end toruqe, which is what I want. Can you take some mental notes on low-end torque before/after the install?
On my last tank of gas I got 15.3 MPG out of my 4.7. But most of my driving is on the freeway. To and from school and to and from work mostly. But I also get stuck in some stop and go traffic, so I was rather pleased when I saw 15.3

I put a set of Gibsons on a few weeks ago and the MPG numbers are about what I expected. Around town and in traffic I went from 13MPG to about 12MPG. I will explain this as me making the difference. I have been in the throttle a bit more in traffic and from light to light.
I went on a strait freeway last week for a 140 mile ride. Total milage in the fill-up cycle was 228 miles (about 180 highway and 48 or so in traffic or city streets. I got 15.75 MPG. Now my best prior to any engine mods was 16.5MPG but this was freeway only with no city of traffic driving.
I will let you guys know the strait freeway milage in the next few days. I have to go to Salinas and back tomorrow (about 100 miles) and I will fill before and after.
