People with Mods in here

Please look at my mods in my Sign and tell me if getting 19mpg on 85% hwy 15% city sounds right. I have new plugs and wires. Original O2 and no code. Before mods I was getting 25mpg. I also have the LT4 knock Module.

Why did you put 30s in? Doesn't look like you need em yet.

How many miles on that o2 sensor? it probably needs replacing.

I get about 14MPG so I would love to get 19

Sounds right -

I'm surprised you upgraded the TB and heads befor the CAI - most folks start there.

You should really feel thr CAI when you put it in.

True but I wanted to get a Ram Air hood & I just trade the Ram Air for CAI. Plus at the time I had a friend who did the work really cheap. So get it while you can. So I guess 15mpg in the city and 19 in the highway is about right.

If you haven't done any custom programming to account for the larger injectors that may be your problem.

FWIW, I can get 25mpg on the highway with 4.10's and the CC306. The car also runs 12.4x's.
