Running without boost for a few weeks now

I removed my Powerdyne SC a few weeks ago for a potential buyer and I just wanted to post up some things I've noticed since the removal.

1st gear: No noticeable difference due to lack of traction (stock suspension and ZO6 18s)
2nd gear: Semi noticeable loss of power part throttle, full throttle lacks power on warmer days
3rd gear: Above speed limits :/

The biggest difference I've noticed is my mileage has gone to crap. I used to get about 230 miles out of a tank of gas and I'm down to about 160 now According to my BLMs my O2s are adding fuel I haven't tuned it for N/A since I'm still learning how to do so and don't want to go too far too fast. I was hoping within the next year or two to order one of John's turbo kits but a captain upgrade looks like it's going to be a little bit further out then I originally thought due to the economy and none of our captains leaving for a better job. I'll be stuck as a first officer for a while I guess.

What changes did you make to the fuel system? I would also double check that there are no leaks after the MAF.

Didn't make any changes in my fuel system. I wasn't running the FMU with the kit, just a set of 42lb injectors and a dyno tune with a Walboro 255. I know the stock intake elbow was ripped and I repaired it with some black RTV, I should probably check that out.
