gas guzzler

i recently calculated my gas mileage when i filled up, and i was getting 12 mi/ga on premium! the car is an 86 firebird, and i know it has the 4-barrell quadrajet. my friend thinks the guy b4 put a 350 in cuz of the way it runs....13.9-14.1's. is this possible? my mods- catco cat, flowmaster, hypertech chip, cold air intake, centerforce clutch, MSD 6A.

what mph is it, I dont know but that sounds pretty fast for a carbed 305. It has the stock manifolds right? Oh, and my 85 lg4 gets about the same milage. It has seen better days and is not running that fast though.

Your MPG doesnt sound to bad considering that someone has obviously been in that engine.
