You motor still has more power than a stock si without it.

The HF or DX tranny is what you want for gas millage, or a 5th gear swap from one. The HF is better. I dont see any reason why you wouldnt be getting 45-50 mpg combined after a tranny or 5th gear swap.

Again this is just my 2 cents
Yea, that is what I was thinking. Would it be better to swap the whole tranny or just the 5th gear? I feel like the tranny would be easier to do if it was all the same.
