yeah gas is going up again for whatever reason.... however, i need more power. this 318, 5500# truck, and an 8' plow, arent cutting it anymore. hopefully ill be seeing close to 450tq, and well over 300hp at the crank.

More power doesn't always mean immediately more fuel... if you build it right, you can keep a pretty conservative fuel bill... that is, if you can keep your foot off the pedal. I know I couldn't... hell, the "fastest street legal drag car" (I bet there are faster...) in the world that runs around 6 seconds on the quarter mile gets 8.5mpg on the highway... which is about what I got with the death flash.

Replace your gasoline fuel system with oxy acetylene... it'll be REAL loud... for a little bit

So I wonder how big a 488 could be bored to safely.

For sure. The Ford 460 stock is terribly fuel hog, but I've been doing research and they can beat a 360 with up to 25MPG. Seriously. So the Magnum should be able to do that too. No I'm not putting Dodge down just making a point: Big doesn't mean little fuel economy.
