I'm Official now. ESS 550 w/ 93 Octane software running 50/50 race gas.

Drove it home from Scottsdale AZ last night, 370 miles. Absolutely incredible. Everything that I had hoped for. Get this, I averaged 23.2 MPH for the trip. That was traveling 75-100 MPH, with spirited runs up to 145 on more than 1 occasion.
Believe it or not, I have NEVER gotten that kind of highway mileage.

Proud to be a member of the Supercharged Beast sub-culture..

P.S. MANY Thanks and kudos to the crew @ Goodspeed Performance Labs in Scottsdale for the install and to AJ & Roman for their help in finishing up the software / technical end of things. Pleasure to meet you both.

Finally! You have been talking about it and teasing us for a while now! Very happy you made it home safe and sound. Those chrome wheels and the Carbon Black paint really look good together! Very nice looking Beast.

I knew someone would catch that. There was a forcast for rain on the way home. I didnt want to rain soak the filter and knew I was getting sufficient air regardless. As it turns out, by the time I left, skies and forcast was good, so I peeled it off.

Not one stitch of rain on the way home Roman!

I know what your thinking....but I dont drive my car in the rain, unless absolutely necessary, so I am not worried about future runs.

Thanks again to all of you for your input and support

Congrats on the SC install!!

The mpg figures - are they from the onboard computer or calculated by yourself?
