i'd imagine.
we're talking about Mykk's truck, right? i was thinking he said something about not being able to get more than like 6mpg before the carb swap.

but either way... how many people can say they've got a carb'd SBC in their NBS? him & that guy with the 383? i considered it when my 4.3 broke, but the 5.3 ended up winning for me.

Yeah, if he would of swapped to efi connection reluctors he could of used factory pcm etc

But in all honesty it so much cheaper to just run a carb
