from what i hear it takes it down a little but but
more so because its a good power increase and you
don't want to let off the gas. i'm still saving
for mine. but there have been plenty of post
regarding this

The only reason my mileage is worse is because of what Greg said. There's such a noticeable difference in peformance that you can't help but punch the pedal more. =) It's a great mod!

I have the V-8 TB and took it off. It was to much. Lost the low end would not spin the peg leg. I took the Top ridge out on the 6 and put it back on. I'll try it again when I get my 1.7's and headers in. I was given and old TB when they still had holley on them.

I don't know how that can be. I have no problems breaking the rear tires loose in 1st or 2nd gear. I couldn't do that when I had the wrong V8 TB cable on it... are you sure you have the right cable?
