Anyone notice lower fuel mileage after removing the secondaries?

I don't know, that's why I am asking.

I assume all 16 injectors will run all the time versus 8 under normal driving conditions.

Hard to tell, my foots always in it. I guess from that perspective mileage is worse because you want to floor it all the time.

Secondaries turn on just off idle. Then they share Pulse width w primaries. Therefore no additional fuel should be used. Unless ur like Hans or GC.

@ 70 mph in cruise I got 26.4 mpg (as I recall). That was almost identical to what I got before deleting the secondaries.
