How is mpg compared to non supercharged?
I am not sure... it has been so long.
My experience has been...
S/C + 33's = 11-13 mpg around town / 16 - 18 hwy.
S/C + 32's & stock rims = 12 -14 mpg around town / best ever 23 mpg hwy.
Stock...no data available, memory good, but short.
I've got kind of a heavy foot...your results may vary.
OK I am non sc'd When I 1st got it it was 19 mpg and averaged 18-19 not sure on hwy I drive 25 miles to work and dont really pay attention to gas because have to fill up anyways.
I know I prolly need a tune up seeing that I am about hit 80k now I am getting between 14-16. i dont have that heavy of a foot off teh get go because need tune up but I do kinda go in excessive speeds some reason I think my needle is broken because it stays @ 80... except when I am in town.
but taht is what I get now stock. Well actually when i bougth mine it had aftermarket air filter with box off.

2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.
2000 Ironman Project LS-1 VX... very slow progress but someday....... ohhhhh someday......
As Cyrk preparing to do, I think some fuel regulation and EM to manage the air/fuel mixture will also add some more on the spot boost, so that could be a plus. Couple all of that with a nice hi-flow exhaust and we could quite possible break the sound barrier, heh.
Cyrk is turning out to be a good guinea pig for my plans since he seems to think along the lines I do, heh. He gets all his work done and I am gonna keep my eyes open for how the tranny handles it all.
Cyrk, you da' man!
