Gas Mileage with CAM ? my MPG seems to have taken a **** now... I'm getting 130-150 miles per fill [as opposed to 250] city driving.. and I'm literally just feathering the pedal !! 
Does the MPG take a huge hit with a cam ?

i've got a little cam and still get 200-220 city per fill up.. and at $35 to fill it up thats awsome! -TR230 = 230*/224*, .575"/.563" 111lsa- unless i head to the track.. then i get about one evening with 1/2 tank.
I get about 17-19mpg or about 220-240 mpt. I have the TSP 225/114 with a M6 and 4.10's. I was getting about 20-21 before the cam. This is mostly city driving though. On the highway I get about 180-190 miles to a half a tank.

I am at 155 miles on this tank and I am under a 1/4 so I figure I will hit 170-180miles on this tank. Thats with about 6 passes on the tank and a little bit of hot rodding/burn outs etc. If I was to drive it normal, I would say I could get 190-200miles per tank. Not to good. bout 13mpgs. Its that fat tune thats killin it.
