I would like to see how much this affects MPG. It increases MPG like a turbo usually does right?

well, i don't know from experience but, if your shoving way more air into that throttle body u gotta put more fuel in it to keep if from leaning out and burning ur pistons. Might not help fuel milage at all. Might get worse. Most high performance mods seem to adversely affect MPG.

Hmm. usually turbo charged engines see a significant reduction in fuel consumption in my experience. That is unless you are foot buried in the pedal all the time. I could have experience that is the exception though?

You will notice a 2-6mpg increase. We have tested for fuel consumption and logged a 6mpg increase ( mind you we were going for the best millage possible)
If your driving the JK around normal, you will notice a 2-4mpg increase easily

On a side note, Our blower kit that was testing millage is actually for sale on ebay (your chance to get a lightly used kit for really dirt cheap)

Have to love a huge power gain that pays for itself!!! That is one thing the Hemi does not do.


If I wasn't poor I would be all over the one on ebay!!! You guys have a good reputation, I bet that one even has some type of warranty even though it is used huh? If someone wants to buy it for me I will write an unbiased thorough report comparing gas mileage and power to my stock JK.
