Now that I think about it, I get about 380 miles per tank, that avg's out to 16.74 mpg. Thats still pretty good

Yes running 92 octane with High Performance TRD Sparkplugs and my color is Titanium

man, how do you guys get such good gas mileage? I get 12.5 to 13.5 mpg on my 03 V8 (calculated). Right now my truck's computer is reading 12.2! I guess it's because I do 80-90% city driving and I only drive 3 miles one way to work. I'd hate to see what I would get with an S/C!

How'd you dyno that thing? It must be 2WD. You'll have to worry about traction now, or the traction control cutting in. I have full time 4WD and I admit the supercharger is a blast and we still have the 5y/60k mile powertrain warranty.

So you have the iridium spark plugs as well? When was the last time you spent $100 on a set of spark plugs?!

I chose not to put the "supercharged" sticker on my car. How loud over stock is the borla exhaust?

I haven't had any trouble with traction control kicking in. The Borla is much better sound wise than stock, plus it muffles the whine of the SC.

How long ago did you install your SC, do u have any pics?

I'm not quite graduating, and not quite an electrical engineer, but I just got done with exams, so I'm doing some of this too...

Cheers!!!
