I had a HD Sportster that got excellent mileage at slow speeds. Best observation was 60 MPG done at exactly 60 mph with the 1200 engine, 5 spd w/ the typical bolt on mods. Exhaust, ignition, air cleaner and jetting up the carb. At 70/75, mileage was more than a bit less.
But back to cars…..
I had on in a ‘03 Dakota, dead reliable but got less mileage than a 5.2 in the same vehicle. Hence my question to the OP, vehicle weight and such…
The big key was the rear gear at a whoppping 2.2 or was it a 2.45 gear set. I don’t remember a 2.2 gear ratio. When the computer worked the way it should, wasn’t that running on a crazy 17-1 AFR? I wouldn’t suggest that to anyone! LOL!
That’s not the point of argument here.
I said “It could be a PIA to install and have everything done to it to make it work.” As in trans tunnel clears Xing and f need be, trans crossmember fabrication, shortening the drive shaft, angles for the drive shaft, etc….
By saying what you did in that fashion, I feel your taking the context of my words and twisting them into a bay sayer position and that I think it’s not worth the effort and it sucks, period.
