I was dyno'd at 96whp @ 4,600rpm, i wouldn't consider i/h/e a fully waste of time. I'm on an auto.

badger2

yea, but what's your MPG if you're not pedal to the metal all day?

killerxromances

29-31mpg.

dude i get more like 30-38 on my auto and I could feel a power uprage wtih the intake at 3k rmps

I live in the mountains. Elevation kills mpg.

tyrantcold

Hey badger, I did not go any larger I put on 195/60/R15 Fuzion HRi for $330 installed lifetime mount and balance, road hazzard and oem tire disposal. I got my tires at firestone, no special's just walked in. I did TEIN S-Tech springs and I love them. Keep in mind larger tires and wheels will eat hp and gas. I get 30 around town and 38 to 40 on the hwy.

Thanks tim. When you say larger, do you mean heavier, or will the extra radius make that much difference in rotational torque even if the wheels are lighter?

tyrantcold

yeah thats a good question, id swear that when i went with larger alloys though my OD didnt change the weight of the bigger wheels where actually lighter then my old 15" alloys so other then a little rougher ride i didnt notice any power difference

killerxromances

size of wheels doesn't mean they are heavier. it depends on what kind they are and material. you can have a set of 18's for example, that weigh just as much as 16's if the 16's are solid chrome and the 18's are alloy. thats just an example.

I don't know if thats what you guys are talking about or not. I don't know, not really part of the i/h/e thread though.
