Re: Flipping Air Cleaner Lid on TBI

Certainly an improvement guys. I last took an honost MPG calculation in the winter time, probably march. I remember that calculation, I drove the truck easy, but it was winter time, so occasionally I would let it idle a bit to warm up. I averaged only 11 mpg. Did the air cleaner flip, and drove it this past week or so. I drove it hard, harder than I usually drive with full throttle bursts, and a few tire screeching take offs. I was trying to see what improvement the flip made and it sure as hell made performance improvements. What's even more suprising, I got an honost 14 mpg driving it hard! This time, I am going to drive it "normal" and see what I get. I'm predicting about 15-16 which is awesome compared to my old 1978 f150 9 mpg guzzler! Flip those lids!
