With my SY3500 the change wasnt even noticable but then again I dont really pay attention to it. If gas milage is REALLY a concern buy an import.

Once it locks up.. a high stall is just like the stock stall.

Moving to Powertrain Section.

When I had the Vig 3200 and 3.23's, my in-town gas mileage dropped 1-1.5 MPG...no biggie. I did gain a little back, though, after I swapped to 3.73's. It was like having a stock converter with the steeper gears. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Your first couple of tanks do suffer since your foot seems to have a problem with part-throttle. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
