Mpg Burning Gas Up Thee *** Hi Guys
I have a 98 WS6 with a LS6 Engine,cam and Long tube headers and it's tuned by Haddad Motorsports.My question is my car is burning gas like a **** and somebody told me it's because my exhaust dosn't have cats it's just 3in piping and a Hooker Aerochamber.Is this true if so how many MPG can I gain?,also whats the best spark plugs for this set up.Thanks

Hahaha SP posterboy thats a good one! No, I personally have not had work done by haddad, but I know a couple people that have and they said they wouldn't recomend it to anyone. In fact I haven't had much run in with SP either, Rob tuned my car and from the few times that I have been at the track with him or out to eat after the races he is a cool guy. From everyone I have talked to they are happy with the work he has done and I like him, very cool guy, so I don't mind repping his shop in my sig. You got a problem with that, well go hide in the corner and color for all I care 
So anyways its not my fault that his car is running like junk after haddad tuned his car haha. Anyone else have any questions?

Almostryan, I'm glad u and Rob are friends. That's awesome lil buddy 
Frankly, I don't give a ****. People are always going to talk **** about this shop or that shop, whatever. Simple thing is to keep a thread on track. The man asked about his MPG dilemma and you had to take the opportunity to express your opinion about something not pertinent. Again, **** happens.
To answer your question...I run 8.0's in the 1/8th and a very emberrasing 1/4 mile time not even worth mentioning. How this is of any use to the original poster...? I dunno. In any case, now you know.
Original poster. Sorry dude, don't mean to hijack your thread, but it seems someone else beat me to it anyway. Hope you fix your problem.

I stated that it was not the cats that were his problem, that was on topic, I made a semi jokingly comment that would lead to his answer that his tune was the problem for running real rich, thats all on topic just had a little kick in there.
The question about what your car runs was just seeing how my car stacks up against similiar modded cars, being that I am only lid muffler and gear, street tires still though sadly

Can we go back to My original question.
P.S. I took my car to a lot of places that dicked me around and took my money and Mike@Haddad was straight forward and got the job done and threw in some extra work and got my car running after having it for a year not running right and nobody else could fix it.I'm not saying Haddads the best or anything they just know more than the other shops in SO*CAL. Also It might be burning a lot of gas to me since I'm use to driving a Camry.lol
