I just love bein my charming self. Hehe. But really, more timing would mean more fuel though right? Come now, ed-u-ma-cate me.

Sorry (well sort of) for the smart ass reply. I don't think timing change alone would account for a difference in fuel economy. A change to the fuel map would. My thinking is you have to add more gas in the fuel map for mileage to suffer. Optimizing timing at a certain AFR will optimize power.
If you put a street map in and drive conservatively you can see 40mpg. At least that’s what I got cruising at 75mph on the highway. I was using Brock’s street map, Alien head, K&N and stock gearing.
My sister said you never asked how much…..wait a minute.

You have the same exhaust and I too have Brock's street map. I think I'm gonna give that fuel injector cleaner that Brock has, it couldn't hurt. Thanks for the help. I'm really into sisters. Hehe

Bad ass,
It’s not the injectors; it’s your right wrist having a good time. HP costs gas. Lap dances cost money. And my sister no longer accepts credit cards.

Worrying about gas mileage on a 14 is like asking how much a lap dance costs.
LOL good point
Its like banging horrors without a rubber and being surprised you got something. Buy a Ninja 250 if you want good fuel mileage. I can't believe it took Hellmutt as long as it did to plug Brocks. You are sleepin on the job Hellmutt Brock would be an angry man.
DAMN, can't a guy love a company and it's products? Jeesh!! I just want to help man, sniff, sniff.......and then you bash me!! :  ::Waaaaah, waaaah, whaaa!!  You're right though, I was sleepin' on that one. The stuff does work though, it's worth the price IMO! Buy Brocks or DIE!!!!!!!!!!

Stock gearing, went and got the Vortex sproskets and the ZZZ chain which is def a nice piece compared to the stocker. Oh yeah Randy, ur sister better get with it, I hate payin cash so get her ass into gear, lol! Still buyin Brock's cleaner though, I refuse to take responsability for lower mpg. I must blame it on somethin else, its never my fault.

Louis how did the 16 tooth front work with the 55 series tire? I am thinking its a wash. Compared to 17 and the 50 series rear.

You must be single. Once you are married you will find out it’s always your fault. Down here in Texas we don’t tell our women nuthin’. They know where we sleep.

It's a Love..Hate thing :-) The 16 is like a little more tthan +2 on rear. 55 series tire is like -1 on rear from a 50. So I am up at least 1 more from 17/43 and 50 rear. It sure is "Right Now" in 1st or 2nd.......like stock was slow. :-) I had to adjust the speedo, looks like I have lost more top speed. 170 or so is plenty fast enough. 2nd gear roll on is Quicker..what I wanted................240 geared up now. Oilfieldtrash........is like 175..... we were Really close before. Have not rolled on with again...yet.

THE CHEVRON FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER DID MAKE MY 14 RUN BETTER IDLE BETTER,MPG UN CHANGED, THE ORING CHAINS CAN BE A DRAG ON THE MPG,WHEN I PUT A NEW ONE ON MY BUSA THE MILEAGE DID IMPROVE ,THE OTHER POSTS ARE GREAT I WILL TRY THE ACTUAL CALCULATION ON THE MILEAGE RECOMENDED ABOVE MYSELF.
