    Just wondering since I'm going to pick a piggyback this weekend, among other things...

    For those of you who have them installed, what gains do you think that you have because of it?

    I don't need "exact" numbers, unless you have them, I'm looking for more of just rounded estimates.

    (sorry for the mumbled crap above) :D

    I don't have this yet, but from what I read on evolutionm, they said it increases your gas mileage, slight increase on HP, but more onto the tq.

    #'s on the gas mileage (not my info)

    Before piggy: 21-22 mpg city
    With piggy: 25.5 mpg city

    I can't find numbers on the HP/TQ gain, but I'm pretty sure some one has.

    I was the original tester for the piggy and I hav post all the info on EvoM. You can find the dyno pulls here:

    http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=273862

    In 4th gear pulls I put down:
    122.85 whp
    123.39 tq

    That was with the piggy!!

    Stock, Jake26 put down:
    119.4 whp
    109.2 tq

    RRM has always claimed that the piggy's best feature is the increase of TQ. Look at the #s. They don't lie.

    You will see better gas milage as well. The A/F Ratio is also bumped up for the use of a SRI or CAI. So with the use of one of those you should see even better gains.

    the torque and hp come later in the band @ around the midway point (3k and up) and you WILL get an increase in MPG. This thing has given me no problems and I'm very happy with it.
