Wieand guys or others, I need some opinions.

This is for my truck. !!(VERY)!! built 350.
Im currently running a stealth intake on it and was averaging "when driven" 12mpg city.
I had a x-cellerator on it before "7546" the smaller one. I got around 10/11MPG city with a edelcrap 1406 on it. These numbers were both with the 1406 edelbrock. I now have 80457 holley on it and now im figuring high 13 low 14mpg . I need to get at least 12mpg to drive the truck. Durring the winter I cant drive the squirly bird as many of you know our cars suck in snow. My major question is if I put this x-c on it will I get close to 12mpg?
Has anyone done a comparison over the two manifolds? I personaly think that the x-c did make more power and would be better suited for my application than the current stealth.
Im getting some sorted opinions from my dad and others, and thier all racers !

Any help would be apreciated as always!
