Mileage
Mileage on Forced Induction What did you guys get for mileage before you got your forced induction and after? Also what kind of mods you had on your car before you put your FI on? What type of FI do you have? And my final question how do you drive your car?

I got about 17 - 19 mixed driving basically stock. With the STS turbo, I still get about the same mixed. On the highway, I have gotten over 29 a few times which I never did before the turbo. The ONLY mods with the turbo are ported throttle body and LS6 springs.
completly stock i consistantly got 25mpg
stock motor, with turbotech t76 kit running 5psi and 42lb svo injectors i consistantly got 23mpg
built motor, 9.0:1 CR, 224/224-114 cam i got 20mpg consistantly
all were getting on it every once in awhile.

I'm currently throwing an EVAP code so I don't know if that's throwing my MPG off. But what I noticed is putting the D1 on a stock motor I lost very little gas mileage, maybe 2 mpg city/highway. But the 6.0L heads and cam has killed my freakin gas mileage. I made it to about 15 mpg on this last tank and that was a good bit of highway and not much playing around. Makes me sick to think how much gas that cam is costing me. 
On a lighter note, damn this car is fun to drive.

Thanks for all of the replys everyone this will give me some ideas of what to do when I get my LS1. Do you get better mileage with a Turbo or a Supercharger? And which do you get more power with?
I got 22 on a 250 mile trip with two brief WOT displays of power. on the return trip I got 28 cruising easy at 80-85 with full on A/C, etc. Try that with you dad'a musclecar
