What's up guys, you guys really know your stuff, i'v been visiting for a short while. My problem is that i am burning gas like there is no tomorrow. I mean i'm getting 80 miles out of a full tank. Any ideas?? I'm runing a 306, e cam, tfw heads, gt40 intake, pro m 75, accufab 70 tb, msd, bbk long tubes, steeda quadrant with wall adj, 3.55's, 24# inj, t5zbox, sealed hv oil pump. Hope to hear from you guys, later. Keep up the good work.

first i would check for leaks, thats some pretty bad gas mileage, another thing is that pro-m has had calibration problems with their 24# mass air sensors, its possible that, that could be helping your mpg problem

Thanks for your reply. I've heard about that problem with pro m and 24# before. I also had a mac cai and took it off cause it just made car idle like crap. I was more like a bad egr or fuel pump or even fuel regulator. thanks again, buddy!

i would get a fuel pressure guage and see what its at, if you dont already have one, they sell the ones that you can put on your fuel rail for fairly cheap. should be at 38-40psi, with the vaccum line disconnected, and your finger over the vaccum line that runs to it.
