Those with all the bolt on's, please step inside...

For those of you out there with most or all of the bolt on's for your car (such as cold air, 160 thermostat, aftermarket MAF, plugs+wires, coil, headers, catback, ect.) also with NO actual motor work (still the stock LT1), what is your average MPG? Specifically looking for M6 MPG.

Re: Those with all the bolt on's, please step inside...

I have everything but the headers w/M6....I average 22mpg combined (and get on it quite a bit) and have had as high as 30.1mpg on the freeway for a 400mi round trip.
I average about 25-26mpg on the freeway @80mph
My new 383 will have headers and the LT4 hotcam kit & I still expect around 20mpg combined

No I think he meant that it was 30% in the city and 70% on the highway

Re: Those with all the bolt on's, please step inside...

When my Z was all bolt ons I got 20 city, and 28 hwy. My Formula with pretty much the same set up is getting about 18 city and 25 Highway. I was just curious what everyone else was getting.

My Z with now a 383 still got 23MPG on the highway. I am expecting much less with a newly installed D1SC and a more agressive cam.
