Im not too sure yet. Im doing a few things to it before i get it on the road. Im really doing all the stuff to it now that i would have done if i never would have had to mess with the motor! So, it still needs new tags before i start cruising it around. Im thinking the first of the month i will start driving it a bunch.

I'm thinking the th400 would hold up better and be cheaper to replace or fix if it does break down. If I could eventually get a gear vendors unit it would be even better!!! So please post your mileage when possible!
Thanks!!

Honestly, im expecting my my milage to go from about 10 average to about 13 average. I dont think it will be a big jump for me but i guess im just keeping my standards low so that im not dissappointed.
