Congrats on the new found power. I give you 3 weeks before your ready for bigger ones!

CTD_Neil, so far I've gone a month and I'm not ready for more. I want more, but I'm not quite ready. The 275's and an EZ are a beautiful combination. I beat the ever living snot out of my tranny this tank and it's held up great so far. Lots of racing and lots of 40-100mph runs. The mileage has also improved. Driving like this I used to get 200-220 to half a tank. Now I'm getting 250-280. I'm also filling up every week and a half vs. every week.

Well, I want more power!! Tranny isn't ready for it though, It shifts great, just trying to make sure I take care of the tranny so it takes care of me. I want to replace the tranny when I'm ready not when the tranny says so. Driving easy, I got 16.7 last tank! I really have to baby it to get decent mileage. I usually get 200 or less at a 1/2 tank, usually about 13.4. I guess I might try to reset the APPS, that or I guess I do drive that hard all the time.

Geez. I have to try extremely hard to get 200 out of a tank. My tranny is holding great so far. When I changed the fluid on it it wasn't burnt or nothing. Just old. The filter was a different story. Hadn't been replaced in 80k miles.

of all of you guys doing just the 275 injectors, are any of you using a boost fooler? i think you'll be just as amazed at the power gain you get with a wastegate mod and boost fooler.
BigBlue, if you get to dyno, you should try it with the comp off (for just boost fooling) and 5x5 if your clutch can handle it. HUGE difference if your turbo can get to the 32-35psi range!

Me, too. Even ragging on it all the time around town, I have a hard time getting less than 240 to a half tank.

On the hwy, I can clear 300 to a half-tank. Best ever was 324 to a half tank, but that was at 52 mph with a REALLY full tank and slight tailwind. Anyway, I'm happy

Beast2b, I've got an auto. No wire tap for me until I get a tranny (which will hopefully be christmas).

HOHN, I meant to say 200 to half a tank. I've done nothing less than 90mph on this tank and I still got 350 to 3/4 tank. That's with the comp on and off and several races. Speaking of which, I need to add another ford to the kill list.

Ok just hit a little over 50 miles and the needle is just on the bad side (closer to E)of the "F" line.

How hard is the install of these injectors?

Hey Guys, I added the 275's, rebuilt vp, trashed silencer ring, and gauges, (fuel pres not hooked up yet). vp had been sick for about13k miles. Have 120K on truck now. What a diff. 265 tires 6spd, used to get about 19-20 mpg work and back. mixed hwy. Now I hit a average of 24.2 on first half tank. Gotta use the cruise though, want to keep foot in it. Who can tell me about a boost fooler, or wastegate mod.? Haven't put the gooseneck on it yet to really see how it does. That will be in a week or so.
Already had a BHAF on it. still stock 3", cept for flowmaster. Impressive power gains.
Hey EJB, injectors are not hard, pull valve cover, loosen all injector lines, pop the feed tube back a little (where the lines go in) Loosen front inj bolt, but a bolt in inj and pry out with screwdriver. put in new inj, tighten everything up, fire it up and check for leaks.

The overhead computer mileage is off with rv275 as it used a lookup table based on throttle position and other perimeters.

In any case the RV275, do increas mileage. I had an Edge EZ and imediately notice the power increase from the RV275.

EJB, injectors are a piece of cake to install. I am a pretty mechanically inclined guy. But even if you're not, with the proper instructions it really is an easy job. Took me about 2 hours from hood up to hood down. And, my oh my, how you will love the power increase!

I can email you instructions if you'd like.

Well I put the Scotty2 in now, The old stock air filter was NASTY!! Man I'm surprised it even ran! I was averaging about 13 city driving easy. Did the scotty at 1/2 tank so I had to "get used to it" not driving easy it went up to 15, Just filled up yesterday and I can tell the mileage is better. Also the old filter was so dirty the scotty was a performance increase!!
