when i had my VP SS i was geting 400 to 450kms. That was a 65ltr tank, plus i had a stage 3 cam and componet kit installed aswell. So i guess with a 100ltr tank in a 4b i wouldnt push it more then 500 to be on the safe side to you get your gauge fixed.
Its not cool, unless it's got boost :)

500ish sounds right maybe more depending
how much lead is in your foot. :lol: and yeah
injected 304's sound way cooler than GEN III's.
