Hi, Windage tray benefits for long distance driving? Possible fuel economy 1-2 mph increase due to slight HP increase? '69 convertible, 350 cu., now have Edlelbrock Aluminum heads, and EFI. I understand I will end up with aprox 365 HP when finished putting this motor together. This car will be a long distance runner.....Oregon to Montana to buy an ice-cream cone and drive back.

There are no benefits whatsoever to running a windage tray on a street driven engine.

Thank You toobroketoretire. with all the reading I found it seems to only benefit about 6500 rpm with your foot thru the firewall.
Thanks again
