I vote de-tune the big block, maybe just change the pistons to some pump gas friendly ones and drive the crap out of it. Do you have a solid lifter cam? If you do change to a hyd. roller then drive the crap out of it. Nice truck by the way.

I have a 500hp big block with a 4l80e and I drive it any chance I get, hell I make up reasons to drive it. It is so much fun. Doesn't get very good gas mileage but some of that is because my right foot spends a bit too much time on the floor. Pump gas and a nice hyd. cam...it's just fun.

Nothing like big block torque. Just mat the gas and it will make you smile!
