Yes, you'll feel a real difference, its worth the money on a 94.

And you could also put in a higher stall TC and you'll really hit the seat.

Now as for mileage, thats going to drop at least 2mpg on the hwy, possibly more.

I don't think it will 'force' you into the seat unless you get some super sticky tires... you'll likely go up in smoke before that point. it will be fun either way.
