lOOKING FOR BETTER MILEAGE. HELP?
Ok guys here it is.
I have a turbo regal with: Champion irons, trw motor, street cam, pt54,42.5's,walbro, front mount, th downpipe, exhaust.chip is reds street, (**** runs super rich imo) Non lockup tranny set up with westcoast 3200-3400 n/l converter. I am looking into ways to get better mileage. I have a stock converter at home but i need to spend about 450 bucks to set up the tranny for lockup again. Big expense so im not sure if its worth it. also , would the chip be more of a problem also? i hear that red chips run super rich, i mean i see nothing but smoke when i floor this thing and it break up. i run stock boost 14-15 psi, but havent really floored this car bc it breaks up. I am getting like 10mph right now. if anyone knows of a good tuner for these cars please give me the number. thanks |

Check the MAF and O2 sensor. I would certainly swap the chip for something from Eric Marshal.
