I would reccomend getting 3.73's if you're going to turbo you're car. Umm depending upon what mods you have, the horsepower won't really burn up your gas if you daily drive it. Like getting a better exhaust system adds hp but it also increases your mpg. It just depends on the mods you have

From everything I've read here about 450 is the safe limit on hp before you risk blowing your stock bottom end. Gas mileage remains good till you go heavy on the accelerator which usually happens when leaving the driveway. To go over 400 hp you usually need a tune requiring 93 octane so figure a mere 4 dollars a tankful for that. Worth every penny in my opinion. Enjoy it when you get it!

okay like if you get an SCT XCal-II tuner. They will make a flash tune setting programmed to work with your car on 93octane gas.
