I can safely say I'm not looking for any fuel economy in the Dakota. My intention is to get it to be roughly as fast as a 2011 Mustang GT. I'd be happy with 12mpg on The Hog, but mileage will probably get better as the engine is built up, because I'm not a big fan of the fat nasty cams with epic overlap that are often the reason for muscle cars doing 8mpg when they could be doing 15.
As for the Honda, I have two ideas. I'm going to rebuild the motor, but I want to replace stock D15B2 components with either the D15B6 (CRX HF) equipment, or D15Z1 (Civic VX) stuff. I think the Z1 would yield better results, but the B2 would probably be a lot easier, particularly on the electronics end of things. But I'm still not sure which way I want to go. Either way, I'm probably going to want to add some compression, and I'm considering some other tricks. Aero work on the crank, basic porting, and maybe even something like powre lynz if I really feel like adventuring into the unknown. This will be my first engine rebuild, so a lot of that stuff is pretty intimidating.
