the car is lightened and it weighs 2500 or so and with full exhaust, standalone, and m2 lower i/c piping he said that he is getting 10-11 mpg.
that sound crappy, he does have a race suspension and 11" wide tires if that makes a diff. 34k on odo, 10k on engine.
would this mean that the motor has something wrong with it?

well you said he cruises at 4k rpm......... that takes a terrible toll on gas milage, instead of goin 65mph at 5th gear he's doin it at 4th....... you'll get better milage if you cruise at a lower rpm

he said that it was bad for the car because the engine was not getting enough fuel.
