S/C fuel mileage
Any of you guys with supercharged 5.0's, what kind of mileage do you get? Im planning on a S trim later with a new bottom end, and want to know what range to expect since it is my DD (besides streetbike). Im only planning on running about 6 lbs of boost which should be supplemental to the new heads and intake combo.Also list what supporting mods you have. Thanks

Really so much is going to depend on your driving habits. obviously when you're supercharged and get on the throttle it's going to suck gas down a lot more than before. You can't make more power without more fuel

I just put the new paxton sl on my 87. Every supporting mod and im getting about uuuhhhh 7 miles per gallon. Running 110 and 6 bucks a gallon too...AAAAHHHHH!!! Drove it about 30 miles yesterday since the weather finally got sweet out and burnt up a half tank....But shes not a DD either... Gotta pay to play....

I have no clue what I get, nor do I care. If I was concerned about mileage, I would have never modded my car. Since I don't drive the car too often, I don't worry about it. Gonna take a highway trip to CJ's C.A.D. in July, maybe I'll check to see what it gets on the highway then.
