How does this affect gas mileage? 15-20hp is pretty optimistic...more like 10-12hp...and mpg is usually worse, cause you'll have you foot in it more! Might increase 1-4 mpg...

Anyhow if you drive the same gas mileage will improve, however like previously stated you tend to get on it more and more. At least I do, I drive my car hard alot now and I only have the intake done so far. 99 Mystique LS T-Red ATX Duratec Mods: Hella stereo Mods K & N air filter w/intake pipe www.sounddomain.com/id/jongordo8
