real bad gas mileage... take a look at the data master log?

MY mods ar as follows:
224/230, with 1.6 RR
3.73s
long tubes
dual exdhaust
3000 stall converter
moroso CAI
transgo shift kit

o2 sensors are fairly new, within 3k miles.

i'm gettin 8-9 MPG whether i baby it or drive like a nut. other people claim to be getting 16-20 mpg with the same set up.
I also noticed i was gettin some knock, which was pulling timing. any one know whats up wit htaht? or realize anything else that can be causeing problems.

Has the car been dyno tuned using a wideband O2 sensor? Tuning is critical to good, safe power and can probably solve your fuel mileage issue.
