Tune, gear, and type of driving are going to play a big role. My guess would be 22 mpg on the highway.

1320,

How did that cam run with the 3.73s? I'm looking to do the same with a 4L60E and a 26 inch tall tire. Did you get off the line nice? Or was is bogged at all?

Thanks

I had the same set up and also grabbing the unit as soon as I knew I wouldn't smokem. the car ran strong from the launch til the finish line. I also had a tci super street fighter 3500 stall converter. if you don't have a stall I would recommend getting one. I have a streetfighter 3000 stall for sale with only 150 miles on it and no burnouts or track passes. I out it in my wifes car but she didn't like it. I'll giv it to you for $250.

In all honesty, gas mileage is the last thing i would have thought about when purchasing the ms3.


Thats why i bought the ms4.
