what mpg would this setup make?

I was wondering what mpg you all thought could come out of this truck? I know there are some auto calculators out there, but figure I would get more accurate results coming from the pro's here on this great site....

302 with egr/ smog delete, 2bbl with open air cleaner, AOD, 9in with 3.25 gears and 235/75r15 all around.

Thanks in advance.

Somewhere in the mid teens, I would think.

Skip the open air cleaner, use the stock one.

Don - You are probably right, as always, but I wouldn't hazard a guess w/o knowing the driving conditions. If running a steady 60-62 MPH on the highway I'd say probably 16ish. Running 65 it would be 15, and 70 MPH will be closer to 14- MPG. Mix in around town and those numbers drop significantly as all around town will be something like 10 - 12.
