Re: (Kurt04)
my gas mileage went up when i put my supercharger on. by about 3mpg, as long as im not in boost all the time. I think this was because the air was restricted because the bypass valve is prety small.

i dont care what car or setup you have, if you get on it non stop, your gas mileage will suck. and yay.. ur running boost, so of course ur gonna get on it

? isnt the point of a turbo for the boost?

If your concerned about gas mileage then you should do an all motor HF with stock hf everything.
This is an absured post, most people putting on forced induction could careless about MPG, they are doing it for the power and therefore they are always in the boost making MPG go down.
Guess to each there own.

Who says you can't have best of both worlds? Why do you think these big automakers are making cars like the 505hp corvette that gets over 30mpg on the interstate? I put a supercharger on my car, and im still concerned about how much im paying at the pump. I bought a transmission that has the performance gears 1-4 and an HF 5th gear for a reason. If i were always in boost my motor would be fried, I still care about my car, and my pocket book. I don't think I'm the only one thinking like this either.

that is completly different..half of the motor is shutoff when crusing,,

true..but comparing our cars to a corvette ls motor and some of gm's new technology makes no sense..

You won't get 30+MPG on the freeway with a Z06. The EPA highway rating is 26MPG. And it is a well-known fact that EPA ratings are higher than what you will typically get in the real world. Low 20's on the freeway are probably more realistic. Of course, this is still not bad for a 505HP car.

Actually, the new ones do better than the old.

This is certainly not a valid arguement. Although a stock HF would be a better choice for high fuel economy, most people here would not be willing to put up with the lethargic performance of a stock HF. But wanting performance does not equate to not caring about fuel economy. After all, high gas prices hurt everybody. So most of us are looking for a good balance of performance and fuel economy.

Re: (ck123)
keep your **** n/a 
but if you must boost like i must you can get good gas with both setups as long as they are tuned good and you keep off the pedal. Honestly i drive in the slowlane with the truckers and keep my speed down to a minimum im getting aroung 40mpg in my d16a6. I plan to supercharge it in the future and have heard from many people that they get even better gas milage it honesly seems like the tune it the most important part, am i right?

Re: (ck123)
I'm sure if you tune a car that's 15 years old with the next generation of that model's ecu, you'd get better milage regardless. Typically people fix any/all problems before they boost, and due to the 'risk' boosting presents, you don't mess around with broken ****.
As for the supercharger improving milage, it doesn't make clear sense to me. You have the motor always spinning a rotor. Maybe its just that it has such smooth operation (perfect tolerances, surface antifriction coatings, etc) that at constant speed it's inertia is what prevents power sapping.
