some say the closed deck is an issue. others say it isnt. personally, i like the open deck designs of golden eagle, benson, rs machine.

if you do a thorough part throttle tune you can still have good gas mileage. 30mpg is still achievable if you dont drive like an idiot. throttle position has more of an affect on gas mileage than anything else.

here's an article on the basics of efi tuning: http://www.phearable.net/tech/efibeginnerguide.html

the part throttle maps are the timing/fuel maps where you do most of your everyday driving.

tein is a waste of money unless you get one of their high priced setups and plan to track (not drag) your car.

the edfc does not adjust height, only dampening and rebound.
