Think about the car you have. What would you rather see happen to it?

- produce 20% more hp without any penalty in drivability or fuel consumption
- get a mileage that was 20% better without any penalty in its peformance

Which would it be?

20% more hp but it was a tough decisioin but if you dont lose any fuel consumption thats cool but the again my car uses a lot of fule imo, but id rather have the hp gain so i can tow more

I did the first, (change in motormanagement) and even got a slightly better mileage. (around 5.5 litre per km on average). (2 litre, 130-135 BHP, 290-300 NM torque). It cost me less than 700 US$.
