180-190 miles to empty in my 95 Z ?

Hey guys just wondering what some of you guys are getting per tankful. I'm always around 185. I have stock 323 gears TCI 2800 converter, 388 motor, Comp cams 304 (works with stock computer) Granateli meter, BBK 58, 190 AFR's, headers. Car seems to run great and strong (seat of the pants feel) Combo has less then 2500 miles. Seems like only around 12 miles to the gallon if Im doing it right. Seems to be way low. Heck my race car got 8-9 miles to the gallon but at least it ran 9's Anything to look for? Is a computer tune make a big difference in gas mileage? any help would be apprcdiated. thanks Andel

For me when I did the hotcam kit, the car felt good and the gas mileage was alright, but after computer tunning from pcmforless.com it was a night and day difference. Car was much stronger and gas mileage was a lot better.

I was getting about 8 mpg with my 396 stroker. It was just dynotuned, so I'm anxious to see if that helped much.
