With the proper tuning I could easily get 35+ MPG, but with a few clicks I could put 275-300 HP to the wheels and absolutely kill my tank average. It's a lot of fun to run it up to 9200 RPM while accelerating.
I built the last engine in my Civic (had 3 iterations) to make 260whp on pump all motor.. never quite got the head done, but it was a blast. Still got 30mpg on the highway too, no need to change the tune.

I hit 100 on the way to work to day. Oops.

And now we're way OT.
