Re: I'm amazed at my gas mileage...
I too just got back from a 2 1/2 hour one way trip yesturday. We ( my girlfriend and I) drove there, drove around in the city for a while and came home on a tank of gas. My gas gauge is a little off but I got home yesturday and it still showed 1/2 tank. with close to 300 miles on it. The car is stock with mods in sig and last time I figured it out I get about 31 onthe highway and 10 in town, LOL.
And thats doing 85 in 6th the whole way.

If you get low MPG in the city, it's most likely that after the cam install, noone ever adjusted your cells to compensate, so you're not using enough of your cells in the tune for the changes associated when driving city, so the thing has to relearn each time when you give it more gas, this is very common.
I adjusted all mine and get about 15mpg city and around 30 highway. And my city driving is brutal, I mean dead traffic etc, and the cam is in the 24X/25X range on a 109 if that helps.

I had to recheck it a few times because I thought I messed up somewhere, but it always came out the same. Thats pretty damn good for a 383 with heads and cam. I'm still amazed actually... now my city mileage is a different story... Anyone else getting this good of mileage on a built motor? Hell i'm starting to think somethings wrong with my car...
