The best I've ever done with my LT1 6-speed was 28mpg (highway). LS1 6-speeds can get over 30. Of course 4th gens are much lighter and way more aerodynamic.

RE: Best Option for Mufflers??

I just had a Dynomax SuperTurbo installed yesterday with 2.5"pipe. I like it. Low and mellow. Not loud and raspy like some I've heard. Plus it will only get better as it burns in.

RE: 98 4x4 jimmy pitman arm help

It's one of about a dozen things that could cause the steering to feel loose. You'll have to jack up the front end and check for play to see where it's coming from.
