So Zack, do you think this mod is worth it then? I mean, I definitely noticed a difference, running on 87 octane alone... I am gonna switch to 89 or 93 after this tank is gone... but what do you think regarding the mod?

i think it def. works. but i think it'd be safer to wire it up to a switch so you can toggle between it being on and 'normal'. so that you're not dumping more fuel than you need to at cruising speeds. that's just wasting fuel and making carbon deposits in your head and on your piston (you can just run a can of decarb through your TB every 15,000 miles or so to get rid of these). but otherwise at WOT i think its a fairly safe mod.

Well honestly, here's the thing....
I drive to and from my college about twice a month, to visit friends and what have you.. I drive the same roads each time... and same speeds each time (58mph) same weather conditions..... and I went there three days apart.. two weeks ago, I went on a Friday and then on a Tuesday... so I guess 4 days apart.. anyways....
Both times it was about 85 - 90 degrees, and no wind.... same trip, same speed... and before the "mod" I got 21.9 hand calculated mpgs... 86 miles on 3.926 gallons of gas... (I filled up before I left, and I write how many miles I go, on each gas receipt I get... I fill up always at a little Citgo station just inside town)
Then after the "mod" I did the same trip, this time having to completely stop for construction, sitting for at least a minute, getting back UP TO SPEED, and then continuing my trip.... I went the same 86 miles, but this time.. I went on 3.665 gallons of gas.... or... 23.46mpg...
