That will help the tip-in/tip-out if you feel it is too jerky. You can also change the squirter size, but for a 427, that shouldn't be an issue. Is it set-up for 4 bbl idle?
Bingo X 2.

Keep your foot out of the DP and the mileage will be about the same if you tune the DP for street use and not top end.
