Yea, but 11mpg in a basically stock 5.7 is worth complaining about

By comlaining though, most my issues have been resolved and someone shed information that led to fixing the issue, such as yourself with the info on adding fuel to the 91 tune

I knew taking #667 would still be jinxed

4. Turn the EGR back on.

EGR saves gas?

EGR saves gas?

I was told that EGR is just an emissions thing and I think they deleted it on the 09 5.7s

The wife is now driving the Magnum and she is getting about 15 MPG also. There is NO WOT with her driving.

wanna bet!! LOL She's drifting that thing every day!!

More like a full second, sometime almost 2 in my car.......with MDS on if I give it WOT, it doesnt kick down and go.........it speeds up gradually for a second or 2 then kicks down and takes off........with MDS off its kicked down and took off instantly every time for the past few months

Maaaaan... That doesnt sound right AT ALL.

yea sublime egr does nothing on MPG.

how many miles ya got now?

[momad]

The EGR is there for one purpose, that is to reduce hydrocarbons by reducing the combustion charge temp. I don't think you will get an extra foot per gallon if you hook it back up.

yea sublime egr does nothing on MPG.

how many miles ya got now?

25,553...........ive come to a conclusion on how to not get stressed out about the car anymore.......stop trying to make it fast! Maybe I should just go back to appearance only mods because I have no complaints on how it looks, just how it performs lol

[street hooligan]

sublime, somthing is def up, wish you were close i could help you out........

could be your weather, could be da, could be berometer, could be a number of things not car issue related.

do you have a catch can? have you done any logs on the car????

if you can do a log. and email it to me!!!!!!

it might help if i set you up with my local tuner, he can do a email cmr for ya based on your logs.....

why are your shift points 6000 with a basically stock engine? leave your shift points "stock" and "increase" the firmness, ya might find ya get a little less of that lag you were describing when you punch it....

i havent disabled my MDS, and drive like a demon when i feel fiesty (which is more often than not lol).no probs doing smoky things with my tires, or being peppy at the lights

and im getting average 15 city........

[street hooligan]

6k is a great shift point on a stock 5.7. my car sucks on stock shift points.

[Sublimeon24s]

6k is a great shift point on a stock 5.7. my car sucks on stock shift points.

x2, I HATE stock shift points..........6k shift points also give better downshifts on WOT where you catch the powerband in the right spot to drop 2 gears instead of 1 more often at various speeds


Yea Street Hooligan, I have a catch can...........I havent data logged once yet since ive had the predator because it seems to confusing, and I would have NO idea how to read the data.........for all I know im getting worse mileage because im running super rich / lean and knocking everywhere

Hey....My 2008 Magnum 5.7 with Road Track gets @ 17-18 city, and about 21- 23 Hwy.
The Road / Track gave me those 20" chromies...

Bought the Extended 100,00 Kilo / 5 year "Everything Warranty"...so I don't want to mess with anything!

Remember in Canada..gas is by the litre...
It takes 4.54609 litres to equal an USA Gallon

I paid $1.01 a litre for Midgrade on May 15th....4.54609 litres x $1.01 = $4.59 a gallon

If ya wanna play..ya gotta play..shutup and drive:>)
