That sounds good, and you are on the right track. Since you are running the stock cams, and you did all that work ahead of the rear axle, I guess it will come down to how far you want to go with the mpg, and if you want to give up some of the acceleration to get it.

Good thing you have an 8.8 rearend.

You could go all in and drop a 2.73 to 3.08 ring and pinion in or if you still have the stock automatic spec ( 3.27 ) gears, reinstall them. Slowing the engine down is the name of the game.

The aero mods will help, but if the gearing isn't changed to go along with the drag reduction, you won't take full advantage of it.

Have you done synthetics front to back on her?
