Toss a turbo or two on there and you can pretty much keep the same MPG you were getting cruising down the road but have a great power increase when you want it.
Yeah your right it was hard with my old engine even though i got around 8MPG i don't know what i am going to do with that

Turbo will be nice but I am worried about a putting stress on the trans cause they haven't got anything for it yet although the shop told me it good to 600rwhp but that not reliable assumption it all depends on who's driving
