Havent calculated it yet but it has dropped considerably since the cam install, luckily I only work like 5 mins away from my house other wise it would really suck..

Isnt most of San Marcos hilly, I know when we go to San Antonio it doesnt do that good because of all the hills. Especially now that gas is slowly going back up a little

The gearing could be causing the problem. I think they are too tall for a six speed car.

RPM tuned it, the idle always raises when the AC is on though.

Its a RPM4 cam, .595/.601 232/236 114lsa, doesnt chop hard (wish it did though)


Danny, is your vette cammed now?

Doesn't chop hard? LOL if you've got the same cam you had back here then it sounds pretty damn mean

Sounds like it's rich as hell in the part throttle tune. (That's bad for the motor as well as mileage)
