Depends on how you respond to the increase in power or torque. As for installation see this http://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=44&highlight=chip

Indeed, the gas mileage is by far most affected by the driver. This is how I get my supposedly gas-hog 540 (auto, bleh) to get 20+ city, 25+ highway, with mods.

As for your mileage, it will likely be high teens, low 20s. As a side note, however, you will have to use premium gas now, as the power mostly comes from advancing the timing for better gas, as the stock M30 was designed to run on regular (87) to mid grade (89).

the hp increase shouldnt be too far off from what they state...it evens out low end a bit, but you will feel a really noticeable stronger pull above 4k to redline....enjoy it..

install is easy, takes 30minutes...maybe an hour if your not mechanicaly inclined
