What type of gas mileage to you supercharge gents get? (I realize this is a goofy question but I'm curious). I have nitrous system to install but love the idea of an "always on supercharger."

Anyway, if you gents can enlighten....much appreciated.

I think most are getting 1 to 2 mpg better with the supercharger.

The best I got on the open highway on the way back from getting it installed was around 24.5 mpg. Back and forth from work mostly highway 60 miles roundtrip 20.1, but I always play a little. There is another member doing much better thou.

Over the life of the car maybe I can justify the price? :)

I wish the blower's for these things were a little less expensive (ala Mustang), but if you got the cash for it then what the hell eh?

It depends on your driving style, and how you tune the car.

That's a Mickey Mouse answer.

Thank you gentlemen. I've got a maggie on order with ARH and a RotoFab all waiting for install. I"m hoping the Magnuson provided tune has provisions for the headers and CAI.

^^im 95% sure the tune supplied is for an stock vehicle and does not have provisions for other mods

^^that may be, but regardless of what shops say, you never "tune" in more than 15 hp unless your tune is just totally jacked up from the beginning.
