Default What kind of gas mileage do you guys get

I'm curious what some of yous get? I'm thinking about finding a nice little 4 banger mustang, rippin the motor out.. have it all done up with stuff, esslinger ADI crank, 5.7 crower billet rods, JE pistons from esslinger 8.5-1,McCord head gasket supported with o-rings, aluminum head and cam kit, ALL of that stuff. Then I'm gonna get a SVO/turbo coupe computer/wiring harness. Basically I wanna build a turbo 4cyl car, with what I just named off, do you think its possible to do? what kind of gas mileage would somethin like that get?

The gas mileage will depend on how much time you spend with your foot heavy on the throttle, it is not easy to tell, a well built engine can have better than stock MPG.

Horsepower and fuel comsumption are dependant, the more power the more fuel you need. In boosted applications this relation is not linear, as you can cruise without boost and hence less HP and less gas you will need.
