'84 M1009 CUCV Blazer 6.2/TH400/3.08

I've checked mileage twice so far, and I got 20.2 the first time and 21.4 the second. This is mixed driving, but more in town than highway. I gotta think 22 - 23 is totally possible on the highway. I have a Banks Sidewinder turbo kit that I'm going to install soon. I've heard some people say the Banks kit slightly decreased their mileage and I've heard others say it got slightly better. For the proven 100+ lb ft gain in torque, I'd be OK with a little loss.
