A stupid question is one not asked. And when it sounds to good to be true it usually isn't right?

I don't understand the low gas milage? I got 21-23 when before mods. Now I get about 1.5 average less. Could probably get better gas milage but I had Al set it so that there was absolutly no knock (safe side) with 680's it's gonna get a little worse. Even safe it's Still crazy fast. First gear just smokes all 4 and ***** the car sideways unless you're real careful. 2nd still breaks them loose at anything above 3000rpm but maintains straight better. AND I still get 19-20.5. Worth it. I live for on ramps!

Which tires do you run? Not the stock Advans, I assume.

Advans lasted 7000 miles. Wearing Fuzions now. Bit less traction, but not much and way better wear and snow and ice properties.

And never on a track or drag strip! I admit I like corners, but did rotate front to back 3 times, but you pay for traction. Just look at the hardness compared to most street tires. I have 22,000 on the Fuzions. Yes they are about gone.

Table is just my collection from various web sites. I do not attest to it's 100% accuracy. Actual excel file also has pictures of the tread patterns but to large to load here.
