I too have a '96 4.3. It has a roller cam, dual cats, port injection, and the Vortec heads. I was never impressed with the earlier 4.3s but this one does pretty good on the power/mileage thing.

Use the search function. There are several other 4.3 threads on this site where this has been talked about extensively.
