I get about 18-20 mixed driving, it's pretty easy to be a little happy with the go pedal when in overdrive on the highway, I originally had the SM465, so 55-60 was pretty happy, and although the overdrive only really dropped the rpms by about 400, it's been very easy to start going 75-80 and not realize it.

I'm hoping for 16 mpg with this 292 and NV4500, my brother had gotten 13mpg with his 72 C20, SM465, 5.13 rear end.

I completely redid the front lift springs, drilled out some holes to install polyurethane slip pads on the ends of the bottom leafs, Teflon sheets between each leaf, and there will be 2 more top and bottom of the pack on install. New energy suspension bushings.
