Well, I burned thru a tank and while I feel an increase in power similar to an extra 20+hp, under load my mileage dropped 1.5-2mpg, yet it increased pulling empty by 2mpg.

I’m thinking I need to go ahead and cut and open up the front side of the box. Lowering my IAT has resulted in more power but I think this alteration has decreased airflow resulting in higher consumption.

So, soliciting some thoughts from the mod-ers/racers here, am I on track with this line of thinking?
