25rwhp over stock is best case scenerio with a premium octane tune and oversized CAI.

The 93 octane tune gets more mpg and more horsepower... you just have to remember to not fill your car with 87 which is a hastle. It doesn't cost any measurable amount more or less with a variable timing engine.

wait till your car gives you the "50 milesto empty" message and then top it off with premium and install your CAI. enjoy.
