I'm nearing my 500 mile oil change. I've had a chance to put the engine through it's paces (reasonable of course). GREAT performance, especially in torque. Engine pulls hard, even noticeable when the cruise kicks back in. Pulled away from some friends 2.8 Fieros on the highway very easily. I'm running 92 octane premium. Gas mileage is about even with the 2.8L on the highway, hard to judge in the city. I expect power/mileage to improve as the engine loosens up some more.
The FOCOA headers and BORLA exhaust look and sound great!! Quiet when idling - but you can hear it means business when you open it up! The "stock look" may be a disappointment to some, even the headers don't "jump out at you". I think even a GM Dealer wouldn't realize the engine is not a stock 2.8 until he drives it.
Would I do it again? YOU BET! Some changes though. Standard 3.4 injectors should be plenty. I find the 3.4 DOHC injectors run abit rich at over 35lbs fuel pressure. The V8 fuel pump is probably unnecessary unless you plan to run NOS and will need the extra fuel capacity in the future. You'd need J&E forged pistons in that application as well.
