I ran a 230-236 112 +2 XE-R in my H/C 346. With a Speed Density tune it ran smoother than my friends 224-224 114 setup. I still averaged about 18 overall but got 26 or so on highway trips.

It's all in the tuning... I have a 232/240 cam (G5-X2) on a 114 lobe... drives almost like stock most of the time and gets about 26-27mpg highway.
It can act up and want to die after a hot start and if I'm in stop/go traffic w/ the fans on it can get finicky... it just needs more TLC.

Was this a direct swap or did you need to fly-cut the pistons ?? I ask because I'm looking to go in that same direction.
