Does cam = bad gas mileage?
I put a 224/228 cam in my car w/ LT's, stall and LS6 intake and am now getting about 13 mpg with normal driving in the city and was wondering if this is normal? The car is tuned and not running rich so I have to assume that it's all good, but would like to hear from some people that have been through this to see if my numbers are normal.

My stall is a 3600 and I know we had to adjust the TB blade for it to idle better, but I filled up my tank of Friday and only put 40 miles on the car and it's down to 3/4 of a tank. This seemed a little crazy to me. I know it wasn't tuned by a professional, but my buddy is pretty smart when it comes to HPTuners and I've pulled the plugs and O2's since the install and it does not appear to be running rich. Any suggestions on a fix for this problem. Thanks

I have a 231/239 595/605 114 and I get 28mpg through the 6 on the highway. I have 42# injectors, 390 rear, LT, OR-X, Borla Stingers, Vararam intake, and a few other things. All tuned on a wideband and HPT. It is ALL in the tune!

There must be something wrong with the tune. I have an F13 in my Z06 and drove 3 hrs. to get it installed. I used the same amount of gas going there without the cam and coming back with the cam installed.
