Default i think i may have fixed my mileage problem a little...

i am stoked, i just drove 100 miles on 6 gallons of gas, an there is still a bit to go on the gas guage; i dont know how low it goes before its really empty and i dont want to find out. but there is still a few miles in there.... but its wierd, i put a mallory hyfire VIA in there and set my fuel pressure to 50psi vac off , i put some injector cleaner in there and hoped the extra fuel back pressure could push it through a bit harder to scrub some more ... this is coming from barely 60-70 miles on 6 gallons.....

have you cleaned your 02 sensors yet?..this will help if your using the 19's you can find a set with low miles for close to nothing....only REAL way to clean them is to pull them out or send them off the be matched flowed...also changed that pcv valve to a higher number this wil clean up things..
