Most of the mpg drop is going to come from the heavy foot mod that comes with a cam install.[sm=gears.gif]

Don't mod your car if you're worried about gas mileage. Just my .02

RE: cams MPG drop???

With MPG in mind, I drove the interstate and got 18.2mpg. I was VERY pleased with that. I usually get about 14-15 driving conservativly in town. With a tank that includes the track, I can see 12-13.

I agree, if you want great MPG, DO NOT start doing major N/A mods.

You have stock seats? You'll end up in the passangers seat[&:]

I couldn't see me autocrossing this car. I would do it but I'm sure it wouldn't do too good. It has enough low end power for it but that's about it
