Hi all,
I have Ford Mustang '66 with 289 V8 and like to know how much typical fuel consumption might be with these parts:
- Edelbrock 600cfm carb
- Weiand Stealth intake
- Edelbrock RPM heads (1.94/1.60)
- Edelbrock RPM cam
- Crane's roller rockers
- Ford Motorsport push rods
- Keith Black 9.7:1 pistons
- Stock block, crankshaft etc.
- 4-speed manual
- Tri-y headers, 2.5" pipes
- 8" 3.55:1 rear with locker
Now fuel economy is quite poor, about 20 litres / 100km = 11.8 miles / gallon
How can I improve fuel consumption? I already have Edelbrock calibration kit, but it don't help much because engine goes too lean if I change jets/rods to one or two stages leaner. Can anybody help me, waiting for advices.
Regards,
Ari
