We need a thread over your specifics on engine and so forth, as I HAD been getting 24 on the freeways with a 336 rear and a muncie...with a TPI on it....then I went overdrive and a roller 355 and am getting much worse....same closed loop FI....makes me wonder....

runs 2400 at 80, roughly....used to tach 4 grand at 80...
