Sorry I haven’t been in the site in a long while. Now to respond to your question, mileage wasn’t affected in any way, at least not in a negative it way wasn’t. May have gotten better, don’t know (the more efficient the engine breaths the better for fuel). Drivability……. its great now, I can really punch it and it wont choke like it use to on the mid range, where all of the engine’s torque is made at around the 3 and a half to 4 thousand rpm’s. Cruse control can be kept with little modification made to the throttle body wheel. If you’re interested I can make a write up of how I kept the cruse control. Also since then, I have also installed a ram air induction air box out of a 3.4l grand am gt I found in the junkyard. Works great totally worth it to wake up the little engine, I would recommend to any body with a 2.4l dohc engine.
