Best magnum MPG?

I dunno I can rebuild a core for Around $100 which is a heck of lot better than "under $1000" plus it's simple to use. FI doesn't magically get you 5-10 mpg over a well tuned carb. I've seen plenty of well tuned carbs get well over 20 mpg. Its called overdrive, gear ratio and proper AFR. I guarantee he can get over 20 With THAT overdrive transmission. Do you know my age? Do you know me? Do you know what I have or have not done? Did you know that I was a mechanic for a $120000 engine for a 45 million dollar piece of military hardware? No I guess not, you just "assumed" that I'm an inexperienced kid. But I guess some of these folks on this forum or the older guys (my father included) who have been teaching me don't know Jack because you know they were tuning carbs before you even owned a car. But hey what do I or they know?... I'm done with you. You can keyboard commando all you want. You'll be on my ignore list soon enough.

I can buy a black and white TV for $100 too, but I am not giving up my 60" LCD. You called me out then got pissy...and what does working on some army junk have to do with what MPG a magnum gets? Did your 45 million dollar hardware have a thermoquad on it, or even 30 year old bad technology on it or was it state of the art modern technology? If you work on 45 million equipment, why wouldnt have more than $100 for a fuel system? You dont even have a magnum in your car so why jump in just to wave your thermoquad flag?

Oh, and you guarantee that he can get 20 with THAT OD trans but suggest a thermoquad for it? FYI, the RE series of electronically controlled trans REQUIRES a pcm from a magnum with FI to run it. You will never get the same MPG with your carb, regardless of what trans you run. kids these days :banghead::banghead::banghead:
