If you're running the vehicle strictly for 1/4 racing...then MPG shouldn't
be a concern. If you're building the vehicle for either road racing or just
your run-of-the-mill street racer, MPG is your biggest concern since you're
not always at WOT and, more than likely, also use it as your daily driver.
Heck...even a stock engine will suffer on the MPG from constant WOT running.
Of course the fuel pump was replaced with a higher volume one due to the
Paxton S/C...but again, if you're not using the vehicle at WOT, the MPG
doesn't suffer. The MPG was on an average which included Highway,
Expressway, and City driving.
It's not that hard to do if you plan out what you want the motor/vehicle to
do. My old Camaro (BB Chevy, FI, 450+HP) ran an average of 12.2 @ 120mph
and my average MPG was 16-17. (3.23 Diff)

Maybe at part throttle. At full throttle, unless you're running race gas,
you
will have to get a proper fuel ratio or you will experiance runaway
detonation.
I don't care if you're running a blower, turbo, or N20. If your mileage
didn't
change then tell me why you have to add abigger fuel pump to such set-ups? I
promise you your mileage wil decrease at WOT. At part throttle it will take
less
RPMs b/c volumetric efficiency will have increased, but either way you look
at,
its simple physics. In the end more 02 introed into the motor = more gas (or
at
the very least a much higher octane) to slow the burn down.
Just my $.5.9 cents
