We need some kind of moderation on sigs, this is CRAZY!

"some sorta cam, I forgot the #" We dont need to know this, sorry I jsut dont like sigs that are super long.

I was always taught K.I.S.S Keep It Simple Stupid(not implying your stupid, jsut a saying).....


My Sig uses the KISS model....lol

I just got 16mpg with an 87 Formula LG4 w/ AT. And that's with a pretty crusty carb on it and not having it in overdrive for 1/2 my trip home yesterday.

My 86 Camaro Sport Coupe with a stock LG4 and auto 4 speed got a best of about 18 mpg in the city. That was when it was tuned to the nth degree with 2.73 gears!

Now that I've doubled its hp and put in 3.42s it gets 19.5 mpg around town. Don't ask me how!

My parts are in the sig.
