MPG might go down a tad but it depends on what else you change. If its a m6 it will hardly affect it, auto it depends on if you go with a bigger stall or more gear. With a donkey dick cam like that its going to surge and buck alot more than your smaller cam. A good tune will make all the deference though.

Yeah mpg will suffer with an auto I guess...but do you really care? because Trex is the biggest bad boy around!! Drivability might worst than the MPG loss..

trex cams in autos get single difit number in the city.
