i agree....i put in a stall converter last summer and have never checked mileage since. before that i was at about 25 mpg with easy driving. now with the cam i just ignore the gas gauge and fill it when its on quarter. its a weekend warrior anyway so **** it...

if the car is tune proper the egr set up donot have anything to do with the mileage. Just turn that circuit of when you get the car tuned. my car makes over 400rwhp and I get 24 mpg on the highway the cam is a tsp 224 on a 114 with 2.5 heads and all the bolt ons

Just took it easy this last gas tank and I got 18.1 ALL city with my car. The key is to skip shifts 1-3-5 and not to shift above 2000 RPMs. Itll work wonderfully if you are trying to save gas. The previous tank was 14.
