    You'll need a custom tune to benefit fully from the added rocker ratio. Get flow mods to let your car breathe better too and you'll get even better MPG's.

    damn, I only get around 22 and I'm tuned with headers, a 3.6 genV, and a hot air intake. I've got a set of 1.9's I'm waiting on valvesprings to put on.

    a majority of my driving is 10 minute trips to work with a few stop signs and lights along the way though.

    No, you can run up to 1.84 on the stock springs. Ppl have run stock with modded 1.9's though, just don't up the shift points.

    You should at least have them at 5800. No shift points over 6k if your running stock springs.
