Roger that 2-slug scuff....my Forged ROSS Slugs came with a super-tight Recommended cold clearance fit/check: Block Half-filled with the good cement & CYL walls still good after a couple re-assemblies. No Air filter & no blowby. But that will change soon.

Not far off from my Signature combo. Looks like my 0.050 DURATION is TOO HIGH:
I gots 4" HG at idle in gear, 6" HG in Neutral. Gots 16" in level highway Cruise, that goes to 20" when I let off the pedal. BUTT the mileage is atrocious across Idle thru high speed cruise. May not be the 3.54:1 gear alone. Therefore my 12.2 ET Signature combo is horrible for MPG.

Hope your SD-455 Combo achieves excellent MPG. Do you have an ET/MPH & Cruise MPG prediction?
