Ok. Before any of you owners go and grab the torches and start making the standard replies about it being a Hellcat and it being a TRX. I GET THAT!!!!!
I have put over 20,000 miles on my TRX and I'm so freaking happy with everything about it EXCEPT THE MPG....
It is super comfortable. It has a super wide stance. It has a wonderful interior. It continually gets compliments on its looks everyone that sees it. And let's never forget that it has an engine sound that makes children out of all of us.
But as EVERYONE knows it gets the sh1tt1est MPG of anything on the road. And I completely understand that it needs that much fuel to make it run like it does.... I am not arguing at all about that ...
What I am starting to wonder about (and I think others have wondered) is there a way to take a bit of power AWAY from the beast and gain 5 to 6 or even more MPG. I think the owners that have to travel alot like I do would be the main people that would be interested in something like this.
Let just look at it like this..... What if we could change the injectors to a slightly smaller size and drop the boost down to about 1/2 what it is now. Then when the tuner is developing a safe tune for those adjustments have them allow for 87 octane fuel. Even after neutering it that much It would still probably have over 450hp. I would be willing to let a tuner modify mine first if they think they can accomplish even a little better mileage.
I just don't want to keep putting 300.00 to 400.00 or even more into my tank each week. But I don't want to get rid of my TRX. Like I said, it is wonderful in every way except the mileage.
Now , please don't be mean when you reply. I I hope there are other owners that want to hang onto their TRX for a while and could benefit from a few more MPG.
What does everyone think about my idea?
