The 102mm t-body will probably make it idle worse..becomes more of a on/off switch and from what I have seen they are hard to tune.

With a 404 making 500rwhp with 4:10 gears and a 3400 stall?

Umm...that is better than a 6.0HD gets stock... and it may be closer to 14 but i am on it a bit much...

This is not a Daily Driver. It is a weekend toy to race on the streets. I will be taking it to the track soon to see if it will run mid 11's.

Are you tuning the thing yourself? You can get much better than 12mpg if it is tuned properly.

It runs at 3200rpm @ 70mph...it don't matter what your drive with those kind of RPM's nothing is getting good gas mileage even with the best part throttle tune.
