easy.......

 

Better make that the rice shop, not the group that actually has the fast cars...

 

Besides, a half-trained Monkey can make WOT HP, driveability is where it's at and what takes time. This is where skill shines.

 

True.

You down for a MPG battle, Matt?

 

Lol that one would be a little harder to test. You would need some sort of automated throttle profile with the car rigged up to a dyno . They had stuff like this where I used to work at Afton.

 

I got 32.3 MPG over 10 miles on I64 at 70MPH out of a heads and cam vette that made over 430rwhp N/A on an unmentioned out of town dynojet...

With your car's 1/2 to 2/3's weight and half displacement, I would think that you should be able to eclipse 40-45 MPG (same scenario as I listed above) with some time, right?

 

haha thats awesome. Too bad nobody would show to the MPG contest!

 

Yea we tuned my roomates old d16z6 engine for gas mileage before. It was in an eg coupe and got around 43-45mpg with all around driving in town and on the highway. I tuned a turbo one in a hf crx before that also used the hf transmission (does like 90mph in 2nd gear haha) and I remember him saying it got some insane mileage numbers.

 

That's awesome! That vette I mentioned has a good sized cam with some real overlap, and that is hard to squeeze the mileage out of on these cars. Timing is as important as the [obviously] lean mixture to get solid mileage without being on the edge of knock. If it were stock motor and turbo (not belt driven SC) it could have done a bit better as well.
