My idea about quantifying FE mods

Firstly, take a look at <A href=http://www.gassavers.org/forum_topic/mpg_vs_speed_metro.html target=_blank>this.</a>

Okay, well, we all know about dyno charts. And one of the things about this stuff that's neat whereas being like, I gained 10 hp ain't neat it where you can say, I gained 10hp from 3k-5k, which is like midrange heaven.

Anyway, I think it might be neat if when we do a mod we could track it by graphing the effectiveness at different speeds. I mean, this would be rediculously helpful to a lot of people I think.

Say I drive all town and I'm looking through the experiments section and I see a 10% improvement from something aero. I'll be all, that's cool, let's do it. But if Metro posts that graph and a new model and I see that my average speed only gets 1% improvement, it might not be so attractive. However, if I'm always highway I might see 15% and rush out to do it because that's crazy!

Just a thought.
