RE: Regular gasoline versus premium?

8 hp & 12 lbs of tq gain isn't much that much. Their graph is for a 95 single port, will the gains be better with a slpit port?

I would like to keep as much gas mileage as I can...but would still like to get a nice kick out of my car.

Unfortunately in most cases gas mileage and performance are an inverse relationship [&:]

most of the basic bolt on's will give you better gas mileage. like cia, udp, exhaust(if done right), colder plugs and wires

Yea but most of these things show very little, to no appreciable difference. for any given thingyou to do to your engine to increase hp, your finding some way to get more air into your engine and more spent gases out. once you get more air into the engine it requires more fuel to burn properly and give you an increase in hp. hence a gain in performance,yields a depreciation in gas mileage. lol

RE: Regular gasoline versus premium?

I just love the way your doors look on your car. I will have to shop around.

As for the performance mod, I just want a bit more horsepower for now. I can't see spending a few thousand on a turbocharger or anything like that...something simple like the tuner is enough for me. Besides, I am eventually gonna get me a 4.6L GT once I get out of school.
