Predator timing/fuel trim tweaks are paying off!
« on: July 05, 2008, 09:59:56 PM »
I just got back from a week's vacation and drove the Av 680 miles. I bumped the timing up a couple of degrees some time back and have been tweaking the fuel trims a little at a time. I averaged 18.6 mpg where my normal average for this type of trip has been between 14.5 - 15.5. The best I've ever done prior to this is 17.5 mpg. Needless to say, I'm pretty pleased. It won't take long to pay for the Predator at 3 mpg average higher - I bought it used for $150.

Good deal  :victory: I've noticed mine has some increase with the performance tune in it. I havn't messed with the timing though. Just the fuel trims.

WHERE IT REALLY IS ABOUT THE FRIENDS AND AVY'S, AND NOT THE ALMIGHTY ADVERTISING DOLLAR!
