OrionStang Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Posted April 3, 2013 Got a couple toys today to help with the wiring mess. Also, noticed I blew a quarter tank of gas (4 gallons) in only 29 miles. Its just too fun. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread

Lbox88 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 If you have issues with that crimper (for 0 AWG), do what I do: Crimp down enough to get it to hold onto the wire, then fill with solder. Uses a lot less solder than normal but still a really good hold. The '0 AWG' dies work well on 4 gauge though lol. UBL | Build Log
Blue Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 damn less than 8 MPG, but it's actually kind of close to what you were getting before. Now if you stopped putting your foot into it heavy (which I know you can't stop doing) you might get about the same mpg as before boost. Also, I'm going to have to commandeer that crimper in a few weeks for my install formerly known as Blue86f150 its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies. Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive this sux camel dicks

Also, I'm going to have to commandeer that crimper in a few weeks for my install I been trying to get the launch down. First gear is gone alot faster now. And yeah, just let me know when you need the crimper. Lbox, thanks for the pics and info. Gotta be a whole lot better than pliers and a hammer LOL. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
Lbox88 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 Would be interesting if you got out on the highway and set the cruise for 65 and see how your mileage is then. UBL | Build Log
OrionStang Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Posted April 3, 2013 Well before, I would get well over 20mpg at 75. Got a little freeway drive in the morning, i'll try to stay on cruise just to see. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
