Ranman72 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I want to go to canby so bad. I'm just worried about a 900 mile drive each way. I need more power before then so I can keep up. my wife did it in a stock 1200 coupe a whopping 62 hp with 370 gears instead of 390 pulled 70 on most hills all the way there 2 Quote Link to comment

I can cruise 70-75 no problem. If I use 15mpg as my base accounting for different grades, stop and go traffic, etc., it'd cost around $400 JUST for gas. That's an expensive week. I better get a real job. Quote Link to comment

That may be true, but with my shitty 6.71:1 compression and over jetted Mikunis, my mileage isn't that great. I'm wasting a lot more gas because it's not all being burnt with low compression. I wish I had another usable head, or just had the money to get my L20 back together. At least that same amount of gas being used will have some power behind it. Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 ouch on fuel my L16 worn out with downdraft weber got 20 to 24 no matter how I drove it my L20 duel webers gets 15 to 18 1 Quote Link to comment
