Yeah, you can kiss all of your gas mileage good buy with a C4 versus a T5. No overdrive and a converter that slips the entire time you are driving is not ver good for gas mileage. If you tighten up the converter the car will be a turd.

A lower stall speed than what you have is a "tighter" converter. A higher stall speed than what you have is a "looser" converter.

hell gas milage doesnt come with owning a fast car unless you have like a new car with work done, but my turbo car is by not any means ever gonna get good milage anyway. It costs money to have fun

Depends on what you consider fast. I used to have a daily driver that ran 11.50s and got 25 mpg on the highway.
