13mpg probably isn't beating on it for that car. I'd guess single digits for beating on it. But easy power is nice :).

BTW, I might have been in a cave, but what year is this car?

you better invest in lots of rear tires for that thing.

Holy shit, that's awesome. I will also require a ride. Your 2g blew my mind when I got a ride in that, one of the fastest cars I was in.

And he'll get 13mpg while doing it. Always a downside, but I guess it's not that bad. Sweet numbers, I'd like a race.

Probably gets around 8 while beating on it and about 16 cruising. My E55 gets around 20 on average but it isn't on E85 either.

I was getting 22-23 mpg on e85 on the highway going 65 the other day. After the overdrive pulley I was only seeing 19-20 mpg though.

lol @ terrible estimates on the lsx.

Congrats man, swifty he isn't lucky he is smart, going to more displacement is always the smart thing to do.

So any kills?

WoW. I guess I was really tired when I posted that question.

Got the car back last night with the new slave and Fidanza twin disk, the car drives amazingly well for a twin disk. Guess the large motor makes for easy engagement, I can just let out the clutch slowly and it accelerates almost like a stock clutch. Can't wait until break-in is done with and I can really put my foot into it.

The car feels a lot faster now, takes less throttle to accelerate, probably due to the loss of 45 lbs rotating mass from the heavy ass OEM flywheel. It also got rid of the rear diff clunking when I unload it at low speeds, and shuts off right away instead of dieseling for over a second and shaking the car.

Should be good for almost another 30whp as well, a lot of guys are seeing approximately 6% gains just from reduced drivetrain loss. I'll know for sure at the next dyno day.
