I have a 95 s14 with an sr20det. Stock internals, and running at 7 psi right now. I, getting horrible gas mileage with the way its tuned right now and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good boost setting that will still give me power, and help a little on gas

7psi is stock, isn't it? it's not completely necessary to hit boost just putting around town. i'm still getting high 20's with my ka. so unless something is drastically wrong, i'd say it's your driving style or you have a s***ty tune.

when my sr was stock with a stock tune, i could get as good as 36ish mpg just by not beating the piss out of it
