Why don't we just make that vid a sticky...isn't that about the 100th time you've posted it?
Just hacking on you man.
Tommy, take that car to a track and run it down a dozen times or so. You'll (and we'll) get a true feel for what you have (or don't). It won't cost you hardly anything to do it.
I still say don't N02 it. Take it from a guy who does. Though it'll give you a great punch (and tremendous tourqe) it's a pain. Turbo or SC is the way to go. I wish I would have done this before.

Listen here, bigger fuel injectors are not the problem unless your tune is horrid. My 670rwhp mustang with a supercharged 4.6l V8 gets 19mpg on the highway, and about 12 around town. It has 60lb injectors. 7-10 is probably because you put in larger injectors and didn't tune the car for them. Im surprised you don't throw codes, since the car will see the extra fuel, but can't pull out enough due to the correction window limits.
fwiw, my 430 4 matic gets about 22mpg on the highway, and around 17 around town.

Ride in something like an 03 cobra, an ls1 fbody, a corvette z06 or even a mitsubishi evolution, and you will realize the above.

ML320, Looking for my S4
Im sorry sir, you seem to be an alright guy, but your car is not fast. Its not quick. Even with the 260bhp you may have, the car still weighs 3600lbs. That power to weight ratio just isn't enough.
