TrippleSeis what the hell is wrong with you, how can you have too much low end??? The lsx motors have a torque curve like a fricken' plateau. Torque wins races and horsepower sells motors; it's all about the area under the curve.
My car has 430+ horses and it gets 30 mpg on the highway... no

Around town I get in the low 20's and I floor it a few times a day. Any car guzzles gas when you're in it. My cobra with 3.73 gears averaged around 20mpg.
