like a scaulded dog but this gas milage sucks, it sounds like a v-8 supercharged with the lope and the whine, I just put it all together yesterday, so I havent had time to go to the dyno yet, but I have allready filled the tank up 3 times in the past 24 hrs.

You got a JG stage 3 built head? hmm..isn't that meant for racing instead of street? That could be the reason its gobbling up so much gas.

What engine management are you using, and is it running extremely rich? I'd invest in a wideband if you don't have one.

How did you arrive at that combination?

Oh, and saying it's an HF with the B20 and the supercharger is kinda a stretch, don't you think?
