Really depends on how loose the stall is.I didn't lose any mpg with my Yank 2600 but its a 600 rpm smaller stall.......
If its realitively tight as far as a 3200 can be i'd say about a mile per gallon.If its loose then maybe 1.5
Like i said i didn't lose any and i tend to make it hold at about 2k until i reach my desired speed.

alright, driving around today i was making it hold, or trying rather to get it to hold about 2300, but initially under part throttle it would jump to 3000 for a while but i understand a fuddle starts out loose

Yea just hold it @ 2000 rpm till desired speed and maybe use the cruise control every now and then set at 2000 rpm also. Works for me.

Ya thats what i hear.From what i ahve read it tightens up after about a week.Also how much do you consider part throttle???I know i give it about 1/5th normally.Then if i wanna get moving i give it about 1/4 maybe a hair more then the rpms rise to about 2200-2300....then i get angry sometimes and floor it but thats only every other light that i get angry i swear!!!!!!!

Depends on driving habits I lost about 1mpg with my TCI 3K I had then with my Fuddle 3400 got the same mileage then with my 3900 well I cant compare since I put a 418 in at the same time.
