good links. just curious on the speedo. if my stock 28s say I'm going 60, with my 31s, i'm actually going 66? difference of about 10%.
so if my average mpg is 16, i'm actually getting 17.6? please tell me that's right lol.

If he has the money to be looking at companies that sell strokers $$$$...then he should just skip the stroker and get a v-8 .

If you calculate your mpg based on a 10% low speedo reeding, then yes, your actual mpg should be 10% higher.
When I went from stock to 31's mine calculates to 12.5% difference in mileage...................at least according to my GPS.
This was rechecked a week ago at 100 miles on the XJ odometer, my GPS said I went 112.5 miles.................I may not have calculated the percentage correctly, but that was my readings.
I actually got around 20mpg on my trip to Durango, so I was pleased.
