Re: Not sure what to do

I plan on installing a 200-4R behind my BB first. If that doesn't improve the mileage, I'll just install a 600HP Buick Grand National turbocharged V6 that's in my 78 Malibu. That should wake the truck up and get great gas mileage. Turbocharging and small engines make gobs of torque and get good mileage. It's the fact that most people think *bigger is better*. My Malibu gets about 24mpg and makes 600 rear wheel horsepower.
