DESCRIPTIONS:
Information about engine tuning and car modification can become quite technical, but we attempt to bring you this information in plain English. We make the information as easy to understand as possible so that even the novice can learn about car tuning and car modifications, as well as how to increase engine power. We also guide you through engine tuning, performance tuning and car modifications for all makes of cars, including BMW, Honda, Ford, Nissan, and much more, with detailed, step by step tuning and modifying tips. And if you do get stuck with a technical term, there's always our glossary of modified car terms that you can checkup the term.

Update (Feb 2010): lean burn engine installed for more MPG
In the late summer of 2009 at 512,000 miles my engine and transmission were wearing out, so I had a lightly used transmission and lean burn (VX) engine installed in my car.
So far, the new engine is averaging 7 mpg better than the old engine. This engine doesn't get the same mileage over a broad speed range that I saw with the previous engine, but instead shows the steady decrease of mileage with increasing highway speed typical of most cars. In the summer on a level road the new engine gets 100 mpg at a steady 60 mph and 120 mpg at 40 mph. It has tank averages in the upper 60's in the winter and upper 70's in the summer. I have had it remain in lean burn on a level highway up through 91 mph and estimate that it should be able to remain in lean burn up to speeds slightly above 100 mph.
