Okay I am very curious to what gas mileage Mo's car gets, city/hway? and what are those extra gauges for?

Thank you

Between 7-12mpg in the city (depends highly on driving) and somewhere in the 20-22mpg in the HWY.

How many .....
 
Mo...
How many MPG do you think we got when we took your car to get gassed up and we encountered that idiot in the pickup truck that almost hit us?
In particular I mean the burnout we did at the light :eek:
It was awsome.
Looking forward to checking the new ride out soon.

Hey Mike,
When you are hauling a__ like that you get in the neighborhood of about 1-2 mpg during acceleration. WOT Acceleration from a dead stop yeilds in the neighborhood of about 0.5 mpg, remember the car has fuel injectors rated at a total of 6,000 cc/min @ 60PSI with a 550 gal/hr fuel pump.

hey Mo how are you I was wondering how much HP your car is rated at now I remember some one saying that you upgraded from the 700hp you used to have and how many pounds of boost are you running?

Swift Racing Jul 9, 2001 05:11 AM

That info will be released in a couple of weeks. The car WAS making over 700HP with only 18PSI of boost. Now we will be running about 30PSI.
