Just the stock kit, no added coating or anything. Of course the vented hood makes a difference I'm sure. Ya I got pretty good mpg sense I left it to cruise control and not my happy foot. I got 4.44 gears so I stayed at around 80 most of the time. I did worry during the whole trip though...I kept picturing something going clunk or pow and then my car shutting down. I went through a mild dust storm leaving Las Vegas, but everything went fine. Now I just have to deal with these insanely steep hills in Monterey

 

Mine gets almost the exact same milage as yours. Must be all in the tune.

 

Lol ya those are pretty big, but you won't ever have to change them out for more power atleast.

Nice pics and congrats. You're going to love the boost and the user-friendliness of the AEM.

Using an Innovate Wideband O2 system, I tuned mine to 15.5:1 air fuel ratio in light cruise (nowhere near boost) and was able to knock 30 MPG at 70-75 cruise as long as I kept my foot out of it. 14.7:1's the best compromise for emissions, but if you're trying to eek out a little extra mileage, there are a lot of things an AEM allows you to do. Using feedback O2 with a wideband just rocks -- great safety net.

Have fun...

the courage to take a boosted car cross country!
