In vacuum, under 2k rpms I am getting 5mpg! Went through over an 1/8 a tank of gas going to the car hangout last night....

On the way there a gsxR 750 asked me to race, too bad I was running so rich, i declined.. I also almost caused a car accident, some lady in a new big expendition was looking at my laptop and ran over the center median

I was also able to put my n/a hood back on my car, fits a little high from the IC, but it works, intake temps did reach 160~F , but I didn't boost the entire night...
