22mpg is pretty good even on pump... I daily my 15' on E85 and average 11.5-12mpg (80% highway with the cruise set) maybe 17 or so on 93. And 90%+ of my driving is under 3k rpm. I'll usually go wot maybe once or twice a week and I usually limit it to a 3rd gear pull or something (traction limited when not running the good ole drag pack).I assume the changes you’re talking about is having to run a return style fuel system different injectors if you didn’t go with a bigger size (id1050, fic1000), and switching tunes if e85 is not around the corner from you. I get it. Me myself will be going e85 next year, I want to build the transmission before that. Right now on 93 I dynoed at 676sae or 694std. I got 22mpg doing a few pills here and there. I can only imagine what ethanol is gonna be.
Do you have your imrc's deleted?
The AEM-X boost gauge works great although they don't have an optional zero or a way to calibrate them yourself which kind of sucks, but they come pre-calibrated and as long as your gauge is reading <1.5 psi with power switched on they work well. I did run into an issue with a unit reading 3psi high, but they replace them under warranty very easily IF something were to happen. And mine also reads 12.1 @7700-7800 on a 110mmSo how good are the electric boost gauges? I always assumed nothing would be as good as a vac line running directly to a gauge.
I currently have some cheap glow shift ones but i don't really care for them. I really like the autometer es series but just hesitant to have one that doesn't have a direct reference... Also hesitant to spend like 250 on a gauge with a stepper motor lol.
