noppers, I just needed a break from working on my heads (both are now off of the 3vze one has the new s2s cams and spacer installed and is ready for shipping to engine builder and the other is in the stages...) and figured I'd try help out.

I had to change my guess too

my guess was not Pi. I was making a funny funny joke. If you reeaaad my real guess is 5.8...since my Cougar has....dundundun..a 5.8L engine. See, it all ties in.

Hey Lamm how many decimal places are you going to round to? If you are going to three or more I'm sticking with Pi [field berry pi(e) yum yum] but if you are going to round to only two decimal places then I'll take 3.17 [MPG improvement].
Cheers Aviator

edit: a big gracias out to Bumpin'yota for the clerical work.

And the winner is.................



































The man who knows the 3.0 inside and out... NUNSA!

With a guess of 1.5 MPG gain he was closest to the actual gain (calculated both ways even, with and w/o odometer error.)

The gain was 1.43 MPG uncorrected, 1.52 corrected. I now get a "true" 14.02 MPG!

Not as much as I had wished for but worth while none the less.

Nunsa, PM me with you address and choice of either a NEW Painless brand aux switch that fits Toyota knockouts or a CB antenna spring.

Thanks for playing, there may be more contests in the future.

Thanks again to Bumpin Yota for the master list.

And of course, I am still hunting for more MPG so keep ideas flowing.

On a side note, the gas I bought today cost $2.37 a gallon!!!

Lamm

Yeah, these are the uncorrected for odometer figures:

Before
-11.9
-11.9
-11.6

After
-13.1
-13.5
-13.1

Diff of 1.4+

Odometer is 6% slow.

1-2 mpg. The hubs and O2 dinky will do it all. I put a Bosch it when I did mine. Works great! Runs smooth and strong. Highly recommended.
