Try do that with some large cam that will give you 400RWHP not 360RWHP like you have now...

Re: how about some mpg #s
You need 383 with high compression pistons (11.5:1) and all supporting mods and GREAT tune , to get 400RWHP with hot cam. Sure it is possbile, but I dont think that he will got 16MPG in the city driving out of this setup.

My car has all new oxygen sensors and fuel filter, plugs, wires, and was dyno tuned by Bryan from pcmforless and I cant even get close to that. My highway MGP is excellent 23-25MPG, but city MPG sucks a donkey *****

I said I dont give a ****. I dont mod it for gas milage. Thats why I have a 30+mpg beater to drive. I really dont care how good of milage I get.

Re: how about some mpg #s
My car was also dyno tuned (read carefully), not a mail order tune!!! We spend over 2 hours tuning my car, and I picked up 17RWHO (over mail tune), but my gas mileage didn’t changed too much...

Re: how about some mpg #s
Sebastian where'd you go to get dyno tuned. I was thinking about Cartek in NJ or East Side in CT but haven't decided yet.
The most i ever got with just bolt ons was 20mpg strictly highway and about 16 mixed. Maybe my mileage will get better with the 383
