EDIT: It would go faster stock as well.
What's the story with this project?

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the possible engine modifications on the Harbor Freight 212cc predator engine. Instead of using a go kart to showcase the engine, we are using a car. The car is basically a big go kart.
While it is absolutely true a stock Insight will get better fuel economy, it was never our intention for this project to compete with a stock insight... it just worked out.
Anyway its just a jun project and I thought this group would enjoy the MPG video. There are another five videos that explain what what the project is about and what modifications were made.
