increased fuel mileage.
I am one who was tortured by the "v8 days" and could not tolerate how much power the bodies ate. A 305 ci for example could haul twice what they sponged it into, and that means fuel...
Anyway, I took that thought realm into the little sube i drive now. Knowing how balanced the boxers get, I could not wait for the first successes to emerge after welding and welding and welding. (I still have crash zones realistically "squishy" but stepped up over oem).
1781cc, carbed, 90hp, 15 inch rally tread singing the alloys....
the success is a hairline over 3000 rpm for 70+mph. the sense of digging in, letting the power hit the pavement for all the 2.6 inch stroke is worth is one of my top ten amazing things I have encountered in an automobile (after 17 of them)
I like to mention the body workings here, as a goal for lightweight may not necessarily be a truthful resolve heading into the realm of hypermiler. getting the humble power your car has got to the road is an an important goal...
oh. the fuel is in the high 30s as of now on fresh pipes, the carb dials in some weeks afterward into the 40s and the "oh my gods" for fuel mileage at higher highway speed, hardly constipated into the slow lane only. I stay right out there with traffic..
