Thanks. I got the engine, transmission, wiring harness and ECM from a 2013 Camaro with only 525 miles on it. It’s rated 325 HP and is all aluminum so pretty light. The Camaro was rated for almost 30 mpg on the freeway so I thought if I stayed light I could maybe get 35. I came in a 3,260 lbs with a full tank but so far I’m averaging 28-32 mpg. I did get do one all out max mpg run, driving like there was an egg on the throttle pedal, coasting, etc and got just under 40 but it wasn’t fun
I’ve got full Hotchkis suspension front and rear, Wilwood discs on all 4 corners and a 12.1 steering box so it drives fantastic.
