If you are worried about gas mileage I would stay away from any performance mods esp. A supercharger, unless its strictly for show. Just my opinion

Dave,

I'll vouch... Dude is cool and definitely wouldn't gain anything from jerking someone over, that for sure. It's coming from a striaght show car featured in some nice magazines that are distributed across the country.

I'm running stock injectors because I rarely boost on my car.

Off topic but...not true. It has been proven that the stock GS4 tranny can operate as it should up to or very close to 400whp. This kit is making that if it is lucky. Typical SC kits at 7-8psi make around 370-390whp if tuned properly IIRC. These power levels are without any supporting mods such as headers etc etc.

The bracket may need some tweeks to make it fit a GS400 but probably nothing too major.

Hopefully this helps. MPG aint affected much with the SC kit installed... stay off boost and youre good. I averaged 20-21 mpg if i kepted off boost. 80% hwy 20% crazy traffic
