so last night im sitting down with some friends and we begin to talk about some car stuff. when the topic of built motors vs stock came up. we began discussing If you were to build a reliable motor for racing lets say 500hp on a sti vs a stock one. if you never raced it and the two cars were drove the same never punished would you get the same amount of mileage out of the car vs a stock one? how about mpg with a tune on the built motor what kind of mpg would you guys think you could get

I was under the impression with a reliable motor build you could achieve the same if not better results due to the parts. thanks ahead of time.

im also aware that reliable and race car motor don't walk hand in hand usually but for the sakes of the argument lets be reasonable with this question.
