Ok I put the TR6's in so once I get the Bottle filled (if I can ever find someone with a filling station with some) I can play with my NX kit. I noticed my MPG have gone to $hit I had 3/4 tank when I put them in 13miles later it's on 1/2 tank. I have checked all the connections everything seems tight no leaks that I can see or smell. Any ideas? Is it the computer just adjusting? Also anyone else notice it feels like your pulling a boat after putting them in? Also if it is going to stay like this I'm switching back to my stock heat range. On the stock heat range plug how big a shot can I run safely?

I think it's all in your head. Mine had no effect on my N/A times, and the car feels fine everywhere.

Go disconnect the negative battery cable for about 5 minutes, then reconnect and go run the dog crap out of it. Should "re-learn" and be ok. You are running 92> octane, correct?

Ok will try resetting the computer again man this is getting to be a drag. Oh well I need to run the power wire for my amp anyways.
But no it's not in my head not the MPG anyways. Looked at the gas gauge left my place drove to my buddies which is 13miles away and it dropped a 1/4 tank. I was like WTF.

You could've been on a slight incline/slant. My car can sit in my driveway(slanted)and when I crank it the LOW FUEL light comes on. I drive it for about 1 minute, and the needle moves up about 1/2 an inch. I don't think I "GAINED" gas. Plus, you probably were rompin' the **** outta the car "testing" it a little bit too.
