I honestly could not answer that question. It's very simple though sir, the larger the engine, the more air mass it consumes. The larger the cylinder head's intake valves, exhaust valves,intake runners and exhaust runners the more air mass it consumes. The larger the camshaft the more air mass it consumes. All of this registers as volumetric efficiency. The higher the VE the higher the amount of air mass consumed thus the less air mass that is left over registering as boost pressure in the intake manifold.
They do have the same final gear so MPG will be damn near identical. I'm a big fan of a well built glide with any car that's going to make over 800rwhp.
The only problem I see is the 1.80 first gear and the 3.08 rear gear. You're going to have to leave on 20psi to get it to 330' like it's going to need to have a chance at running a good number.
You're SLR would be 5.54 and getting a converter to still be efficient and couple with that much SLR will be impossible. Trust me I know, customer of mine already tried. Granted he has about 2400hp....
With a glide to work optimally at your power level you really need about a 6.7-7.0 SLR. That would put you in a 3.73-3.90 rear gear.
How much will this thing weigh? A TH400 with a 3.23 rear gear will be your best bet at your power level if it weighs over 3300-3400lbs.
