Just calculated my MPG
And with the new set up I am getting 16MPG!!! And you know what? Thats what I was getting before! I still have not fined tuned it yet. Carbs still runing a bit rich. Once I fix that I am sure I will get 17 or better. And this is with me driving and axcellerating harder than before!

I am not too sure on the gears but basically I posted this cause everyone told me I would not get close to what I was getting before the swap as far as MPG. Just goes to show that half the people here dont know what they are talking about. I say that to say this, I dont know much about vettes and I dont post unless I have some idea or if I think I can help fix their problem.

I have to see if there is a way I can hook my instant average back up on the HUD. We had to disconnect the stock pump and add a holley. I am pretty sure thats where the sensor is to calculate it.
