RE: mods=no increase in mpg
its still a good idea to take it easy with a blower setup for a while...belts need to break in, blower needs to break in. Might as well play it safe and let the motor get used to the extra hp

+1 on what the other dude said. Save $1500 and get yourself a 98 civic HX at 40mpg or more. Put in a CAI on that thing and change exhaust and i hear form the IMPORTERS you can get up to 50 MPG.
Keep your pony for the fun.

The car probably doesn't get romped on too much... 840hp is a bit tough to manage on the street, especially if you're always on the throttle... The guy probably cruises @ 1800RPM's and just babies it...
840hp = No Traction

it's just that if you read every mod out there, cai, catback, t/b, especially tuner, they all say will improve gas millage and horse power. i'm not sure how of an increase i've got (havent dyno checked it yet=money) but the car is supposed to breath better now, right? which should = more efficient, right? or am i hopping for too much?
