cam, tune, and gas mileage...
my car has the mods in sig...i get about 13mpg city and 17.7 on the highway....it has a tune from pcm4less but its obvious it runs really rich b/c at idle when you are standing behind it it burns your eyes b.c the gas smell is so strong..I am guessing they set it up to run rich to be safe b/c it was a brand new engine and all...what gas mileage is everyone else with a cam getting? Should i send the pcm back out to be re-flashed? Thanks,
James

Everything Dwayne has is better though.
In town I dont know what I get.
On the freeway I get in the range of 20 and above, if the go pedal is not pounded.
The best I got with the stocker was 22.
Might start taking some Datamaster runs for Bryan to look at.
If it is his first tune for you, he is a little fat for safety reasons.
If you work with him, he can make it better.
Also on the smell, no cats with an overlap cam, you will get that.
Where you live will have some factor.
CA, well the gas sucks so you will get lower, about 10-15%.
This was proven on a show run to Tulsa and back.
