At least you have some kind of decent public transportation in your area.

We have nothing over here beside overcrowded buses.

More like an extra one horsepower, but that's the cheapest power gain you'll ever get for the 8.

Ours are cheaper but we have some of the highest gas prices in the nation.

Gas prices today according to MSN:

Lowest: $2.94
Average: $3.04
Highest: $3.10

And this is not the price for premium, it's for unleaded 87 octane...

It's worth it for the extra one horsepower.

Apprantly, there are a crapload of people who does the bypass to their Mazda 3/6's on the MOCC forum (Mazda Owners Club of California). They also ground their TB and claim that it makes a faster response.

Cheap? The price I posted is for 87 octane... so you can only imagine how expensive 91 is.

I really want to make one so bad, it's just that I no longer work at a shop so I don't have access to my usual welding stuff.
