you are not going to believe this MPG
Here are some basics you need to know:
306 balanced & blueprinted, 19# injectors (for now), stock MAF (for now), 70MM BBK TB, Edelbrock RPM heads, E303 cam, roller rockers, shortys, no cats, 2.5's, Flow 40's dumps.
I feather footed the 306 (a little) this time around just to see what I could get out of it. Went 185.7 miles from my last fill and it took 10.10 gallons to do it. That's 18.4 mpg. I'm happy!!
I'm thinking once the engine gets good and broke in (only has 1,600 miles on the rebuild), I might be gunning for 20 on the highway. That would blow my mind!

RE: you are not going to believe this MPG
Please tell us more. That's audacious!! Six speed, eh? T-56? I don't exactly recall those being a factory GT option in 04 [sm=smiley13.gif]
, so SOMEBODY'S done some work. Do you have the stock gear ratio out back? Sweet top end R's! [sm=smiley20.gif].
Vid really stunk for real, though.[sm=smiley21.gif][sm=smiley24.gif]
