Comments? I am thinking about building one at around 400hp (to the wheels) and was wondering what I can get for gas mileage. I am considering this route because its proving itself alot cheaper than building a forged 355 and putting a turbo on it. I've kinda forgotten I have a tight situation with money and would like to get an engine built asap. I'm interested in MPG and how streetable a 400hp 383 would be.

PS: Would a 400hp be considered "mild" for a 383?
