Sorry bro - no offence, but if you're asking that question I REALLY hope you do more research for yourself before doing a mod like this... tongue.gif BE SAFE! biggrin.gif


LOL don't worry, I'm not the kind to jump in without extensive research.

how much has mileage suffered, if any?

same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said
Well, I havent really checked, it seems to last just as long as before...it just depends on the way I drive.

>how much do decent timing lights go for?
once i get a manual swap done, i was looking into doing some more to the engine


I got a real nice dial back one for about 60$ off of summitracing.com, I have to use it to tune/time the vette. Those older cars like that need a lot more timing TLC than any of the newer ones. Its fairly straight forward. If I ever get some free time we could probable try to do it together. (I'm in Gloucester Ma most of the time or at school in CT)

I get about the same mileage with my stock GT vs. the modified ST. But remember one is 1.8l and the other is 2.2, so theoretically the ST should get better mileage? Still its all wayyyy better than what I get in the vette so I have no complaints.

Yep, USDM GT is a 5sfe
in theory, increasing timing SHOULD help your MPG number, in practice, you won't notice a difference.

Gloucester is a hike and a half from Norton! haha I'm down near Taunton and Brockton, but I don't mind driving so maybe one day in the spring we could meet up. Which would be after my manual swap smile.gif
