[QUOTE="wanganstyle, post: 520939, member: 21946"] I would suggest either: Engine unit change to 6 potter (may or may not be in budget). 2500cc-2800cc would be a nice upgrade and inexpensive (when compared to aftermarket turbo / boost + tuning on original engine) Or: Leave 4 potter standard factory 100% and change (increase to higher++ number) final drive ratio for torque multiplier @ the wheels. This would allow current power to move the car as is quicker from a stop with the most potential fuel economy and least cost. This would be ideal for an around town car, if freeway is the target than lower gear ratio (original) would be preferred and you should increase the torque output of the engine. 100% original engine will always be the best on fuel consumption [/QUOTE]
