Thanks! It really is, I was so disappointed with the car when I ran 12'8's after doing heads/cam. I was ready to burn the damn thing, kept second guessing my work and thinking something was off since it ran well, sounded healthy and felt faster.
It was the mileage that ultimately led me to try retuning. I kept reading about guys getting great mileage with much larger cams. I was lucky to see 10mpg around town, 15mpg highway. Finally, I reached out to Don at slowhawk and he got me squared away. I'm so glad I did, I love my car again

Thanks! I still think I can get it down a bit more, but only time will tell.
I might start doing stupid things though, I'm started to become addicted to pulling weight out of the car. Ran out of easy "unnecessary" stuff though. Race weight w/ 1/4 tank is 3630 give or take a few lbs..
A/C(Started blowing warm air and rarely used), Fixed back seats, Battery relocation and possibly removing the stereo in favor of an In-Dash Tablet with a bluetooth speaker might happen before the next track visit.
