Its stuff you pour in your gas tank that cleans all of your internal fuel system. Theres tons of different brands, just go to auto zone or wal-mart or any place like that.

I get anywhere from 21-25, and that's at 6400ft, with a supercharger, driving like an @55 25% of the time. ;)

It's holding up great! It's an absolute blast to drive. GTs beware... Well, unless your supercharged/turbocharged, that is! ;)

I still have a minor tune issue that RPM Outlet is working on, but I got a free MAFia out of the deal, so I'm not complaining!

I paid $3809 for the 100% complete Stage II kit from RPM Outlet. They show $4139 on their page, but you may be able to knock it down a bit like I did (military discount).

The kit comes with:

- ProCharger supercharger @ 9 psi
- Stage II intercooler
- All necessary piping and mounting hardware
- Enough blower oil for 4 changes
- 42lb injectors
- NGK V-power spark plugs
- Diablo Predator tuner w/unlimited tune support (in case you change something down the road)

The kit has it's own intake, so don't worry about that. You asked about the programmer, I love it. Don't let anyone tell you either the SCT or the Diablo is better than the other. They both edit the same things. The SCT has the edge with tune availability. They have an awesome dealer network with a tune bank they can pull from. The Diablo is awesome because of the sheer amount of end-user customization. You can edit just about anything in your tune.

Yashar, it sounds like you're doing lots of short trips on suburban, mountainous roads. 16-18 mpg is not particularly bad when there is lots of accelerating and decelerating involved. If you're maintaining a constant speed, slower is not necessarily better.

I get 15-20 around town (depending on my mood), but on my most recent highway trip I did 264 miles on 8.4 gallons, which is a little over 31 mpg. I kept a constant speed between 65-70, for the most part. If I stay around 55-60 I can get even better.

I have a manual so I try to stay in 5th on the highway, except on downhills when I drop into neutral. I'm also running Bamachips 93 octane torque tune; I think the higher octane fuel helps a little as well.
