Aftermarket cams...What gas mileage do you get? I'm really curious here? I know that I shouldn't be worrying about MPG if I want a Cammed LS1, but its good to know whats to be expected. I'll probably get the TR230, so could I be seening?

19-20 city and 28+ HWY I'm not easy on the gas either and thats with a few WOT too 
I do have a K&N, Lid and cutout so my car can inhale/exhale better than stock.

These threads always crack me up. You'll get about as many acurate answers as you would if you were asking how long everyone's shlong is.
BTW, mine is 14".

I get between 16-22 mpg city driving depending on how many times I floor it. Highway I got ~28 or so. Mods are full bolt-ons and a TR224, stock 3.42 gearing.
