Has anyone had a significant gain or decrease in milage after installing a GT40 topend? Id love the extra power it produces, but dont want to sacrafice any milage (with my foot out of it, of course)

Cool, good to know. I want to have a little fun with my car and I was thinking GT40 Topend + an S-Trim. Should be a nice little street car with good manners still.

i get just about the same mileage with my gt40 topend as i did with the stock top end. I get about 18 in mixed driving and about 22-25 on the highway depending on how fast i drive. I also have 3.73's so it would be better with 3.55's or 3.27's even. good luck man.

you shouldn't see any mileage effects with heads or intake, but you will with the charger.
