I have a set of ported/decked heads sitting here for it. They will net me about 40 more horsepower at the wheels, so 500+ on the motor. I'm interested to see what happens with the fuel economy. Going to 11:1 compression should help but the larger volume in the heads might hurt me.

Mike,
Do you track fuel economy on a different site or on a spreadsheet? Or does this bad boy just get limited driving, or are you close to work and family? I noticed you don't really fill up very often- or at least track it here.
I know I use fuelly and FE.gov, but those aren't updated as I go, they are updated a while after I update EM.
