Default What is your MPG after getting cammed?
As the title states what is your MPG after being cammed. I think that is the next mod I want to do but I don't want to lose my 27 MPG. (let the flaming begin)

No where near stock mpg. I got 23-24 last time I took it to Houston with the cam. When I sit in I-12 traffic every day, I only get 10-12...but it is soooo worth it.

It seem no matter how I drive I get about 12/20.... Sucks!!!

For all you tuners guys, how much timing are you running down low? Say part throttle below 3k??

I don't remember specifics but I know my highway MPGs went up.

My city MPG went down, but that is because its so much more fun to drive with the cam.

You guys aren't making cams seem like a bad idea. I was really hoping that someone would say it is a bad idea. Someone please say it is a bad idea...

This is the exact cam that a guy is going to install for me. How do you like it? Do you have a sound clip of it? If you dont mind can I give you a call? I'll PM you shortly.

It's easy to get 20-30mpg on the highway with a cammed car. Usually where gas mileage takes a hit is city driving/idling. The bigger the cam/more overlap it has the more it drains that gas tank lol.
