i also think the 300 hp 30 mpg has to now be changed to 400 hp 40mpg
Fantastic results Meph. I'm just wondering what your car will look like with those skinny tires though. Are you going to backspace them so they fill your fender wells?

I don't think you could do 400hp/40mpg without going diesel, but I'd be curious what you can do.
