Default RE: Engine life

4-7 gallons, and that depends mainly on how you tune. Running the engine lean will seriously shorten its life, because you're (probably) overheating it as well as denying it lubrication.

You'd be better off just getting your engine well tuned and leaving it. Leaning it makes it scream like a banshee, but doesn't really produce that mugh more power.
