engine mods

Why is there no engine mod forum? I modded my first car, a 1974 Ford Capri, back in 1975 using a Supertune kit. It jumped my MPG from 22mpg to 36+mpg! It involved changing the carburator jets, advancing the timing on the distributor, and advancing the timing on the camshaft. I did all this in my driveway, in Michigan, in the winter, on a Saturday!
I know people regularly get a "tune" for their diesels which can increase MPG substantially- I would think there would be more interest in this!
