I haven't seen 15 during break-in with close to stock gearing (2750 rpm @ 70 mph).

I got almost 19 miles per gallon on my mild built 350, stock gearing, doing about 3300-3500 rpm from SoCal to Vegas and back. The H-gear rebuild should make a huge difference. Weight isn't an issue, I brought enough tools with me to completely rebuild the car on the road, but that wasn't needed. Plus food and clothes to live off of for a little while.

I can get up to 15 in town, but usually 10-13 due to my love of the car's power to weight ratio and stand on it from the red lights! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

FI shouldn't make a huge difference, about the same as getting dyno tuned I guess.

Eric, have you gotten your car to build up to full 180 degree operating temp?
