4.10's + FRPP Cams = 27.2mpg highway

tribaltek · June 17th, 2008, 10:15 PM

61mph on the highway FTMFW!

And yes, I've checked the accuracy of my mpg gauge multiple times and it is extremely reliable. I also drove to work today at 60mph and made sure my speedo was correct by passing mile markers every 60 seconds.
The 27.2mpg reading was taken after 35 miles of highway driving.

Grabber523 · June 17th, 2008, 10:19 PM

Haha...and you were worried...people still can't believe I'm pulling down 24 @ 70 mph on a KB and 3.73s. 4.10's FTMFW...till you strap on that power adder and run out of gear before you run out of track...

Congrats!

tribaltek · June 17th, 2008, 10:24 PM

24 @ 70 on boost is nice!

I was averaging 29.3mpg @ 60mph before the 4.10's, so I dropped 2mpg. For the performance I picked up, it is TOTALLY worth it!!!

I'll be cool with the 4.10 for a while. I'm not going with a blower until I need to rebuild my engine... and then I'm going all out!

gragra73 · June 17th, 2008, 10:40 PM

I have not notice a drop in MPG since the install of my 4.10s. But I am driving a little more conservative.

tribaltek · June 17th, 2008, 10:49 PM

I'm driving conservative for approx 423 more miles... but who's counting?

Damn 500 mile break in!

05mustang_TT_charged · June 17th, 2008, 11:05 PM

haha rookies

a 302 stroker, big cams, p&p heads, longtubes, 3.55 gears, 60 lbs. injectors, and 585 rwhp and 515 rwtq

and left the dyno for the 70 miles back home and been averaging this ever since on the highway----30.1 mpg

Grabber523 · June 17th, 2008, 11:09 PM

And your MPG calulator is accurate??

05mustang_TT_charged · June 17th, 2008, 11:13 PM

yep, average 340 miles before I fill up and usually replace 14 gallons when I fill up.

MyGT · June 17th, 2008, 11:13 PM

21.95 MPG with much of my driving being stop and go. but thats a 2v. some how i get better mpgs than my mother's 05 gt vert

tribaltek · June 17th, 2008, 11:15 PM

Thats insane though... for real. Those 3.55's are great for the highway. Maybe you should get a 3.31 and go for 35 mpg

05mustang_TT_charged · June 17th, 2008, 11:19 PM

haha, yeah I hope the 3.90's don't affect it to much....

what am I saying SCREW the MPG, I drive a 600 hp Mustang

tribaltek · June 17th, 2008, 11:25 PM

Seriously... couldn't you run a 2.73 with 600hp?

rk_2000_Z/28 · June 17th, 2008, 11:28 PM

Very nice. Me thinks that most people that bash 4.10's because of things like MGP and driveability really don't have much personal experiance with them.

Mickey · June 17th, 2008, 11:32 PM

I only get 17.5 and I don't get on it much...3:73's

scramblr · June 18th, 2008, 12:19 AM

Damn, a lot must be said about driving the shit out of your car. I was getting 14mpg before the s/c and now I'm at 13mpg. On the hwy I'm at 16mpg. And I love every mile of it!!!

Right there with you, can't pull much better than 19mpg at 60mph highway.. When I run 100 octane it's even less..

03_StangGuy · June 18th, 2008, 09:22 AM

You make you car more efficient to make power and it also make you more effiecient cruisin on the highway.

DeMello · June 18th, 2008, 09:46 AM

do only the 05+ actually tell you how many mpg your getting?

or is their a way i can see too?

06Black5spdGT · June 18th, 2008, 10:25 AM

Jesus, I get 12 mpg w/ an almost complete stock car.(exhaust)
