![]() I agree don't get an import, thats just a bad idea!! But if you have an 11 second car who cares about the mpg. I would say the best way to get the most gas mileage is possibly get a six speed tranny for highway times, that was the really amazing thing about my camaro. It ran an 11.9 in the 1/4 and still got 31 mpg in sixth @ 75. But gettin 4:10 gears with a 5 speed and a blower probably isn't gonna do the best on gas. Just try to do what you can to keep the revs down on the highway whether it be another gear or raise the ratio of the gears instead of shortening them, but then your gonna lost rwhp. Its pretty much a wash.
