your dead right there Jeff
and it is not far out when seeing the so called fuel frugal E-tecs at full throttle too.

with the mods done on this motor the fuel consumption as still stayed around the same, this being due to letting the motor breath a bit better and not going to mad
on the modifications. great all round modifications and some pretty extreme results with speed. !!!

will see how it goes when the bigger carbs go on , should be miles better at pull away and mid range, with just a small amount on top end.
that is what I found when going up to the big carbs.
