Me and Killer get great mileage. I can see 285 w/o gear correction, so around 270 miles per tank...

I change oil every 3K, new fuel filter, new fuel pump, tune up all the time, and clean MAF and filter once a month.

I too was getting bad gas milleage after the vortech install until I put a tornado in the inlet tube. Now I am seeing 24 mpg. I can't believe that thing worked so well.

That's amazing!! Is this the same thing as those Helix Power spacers? I thought their claims were crap, but obviously not! Anyone else have positive results with these spacers?

Damn, i'm running pretty much a stock car that I always keep in tune right and i've never gotten over 180 miles to a tank, I do mostly stop and go driving however, but still 250-300 miles to a tank i've never gotten even within sight of.

I refilled today with 257 miles on the odometer from one tank of fuel and that was with mixed city/highway driving.
