I have a hard time in the fact that you say you are getting 64 mpg I am lucky to get 26 mpg and at 2500 rpm i would only be going 48 mph

I believe he is saying 64 MPH not MPGs.

Its still Winter a lot of places, lots of bench racing goin on.
After a year of reading the list and listening to the mods, IMHO there is only ONE way to prove if they are doing the job. Drag Strip or Dyno. The rest is 'I think" "I feel that midrangs" etc etc.
Its too @#)$)(() bad that the manufacturers of this bolt on aftermartket supposed Go Fast stuff, doesnt have the money or internal fortitude to back their claims with data. Anything else is simply Advertising and folks 'buy it' cause Harry Gizenderbach hazzit on his far out PTee......
We are UNABLE these days to 'just add; stuff and even begin to assume we have an improvement, like back in the 60's. Everything is computer controlled and counter balanced and counter checked and interlinked.
So the good news I kin spend my $ on appearance mods rather than gofast mods. Easier too!!!!!!!!

Ah yes but I did post a dyno here last year and I proved increases (torque) throught out the entire range. Some were greater that others in certain places but an increase all the same. Enough said here.
