Congrats, I bet it's a blast. One thing though, as an owner of an 8.1 powered Suburban....the sipping fuel part. lol I'm not sure if I'd say that they sip fuel, but I'd be real curious as to what kind of mileage you can get out of one of these 8100's in a small, light car with enough OD to keep the RPM's really low, like 1500-1700. I would think that it should be above 20 mpg, but the key is keeping that rpm down. I find that my Suburban does best when I drive 50-55...which the best it's gotten was 14.5 mpg (but that's with 4.10's and a 4L80). What rear gears are you running again?
