I guess I'm one that breaks all the rules by running single plenum intakes and DP carbs on street cars. Most of my streeters were stock block engines with headers, very small cams, around 3.55 gears and most of them were heavy with automatics with slightly better than stock stall converters. A few of them were pickups too. If you can borrow a buddies carb, you can do some testing but I would say the 850 is a bit big for a mild engine. Keep in mind that DP's get pretty lousy mpg numbers in town....
Not all of the rules, just a few. Question, do you think your mileage would've been better with something other than a DP?
