Installed new Vinci High Performance double valve springs, Vitron seals, hardened pushrods and a Comp Cams rocker trunion upgrade today. No more worrying about sucking a valve because of my blower.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Manually calculated, I'd say 60% city driving. I usually average between 13 and 14mpg. All hwy is 17-18, my work gives me $75mo gas allowance and I do 1000 miles a month in the Yukon so I really only spend $75-80/mo in gas.

Nice. How difficult was the install?
Pretty hard actually but that might be because it's been like 30 years since I've done any major motor work like this. Altogether over 10 hours yesterday. There's more info in my build thread.

Yea I calculated my mpg for about 9 months and I get about 200 miles per fill up which is always right around 19-21 gallons so right around 10 mpg. Unless I do all highway then I can get about 14-15 mpg
I have cleaned throttle body, fuel rail, injectors, intake, replaced coolant, radiator, new oil I'm hoping new plugs a d wires can get me 1-2 more but I doubt it.

Got new caliper for the rear. Now all 4 corners are new. Coated ones like the fronts. It seems like powder coat. Pics will follow

Gave her a much needed day off. She sat in the driveway, while my wife and I went ******* in our '00 Wrangler. 93 degrees, took a 40 mile drive to the mall and a few other stops, then meandered back home. After about 94 miles, got the Wrangler home and put the top back on before the rains start.
