CAGS is put on all Camaro, 6 Speeds to get more Miles Per Gallon. I think it works exactly the opposite! Let's face it, CAGS is a PITA to us guys with 6 speeds. Here are your options. 1. Get a CAGS killer and get rid of CAGS. (I have one and will be installing this summer) 2. Shift at a lower RPM so the CAGS doesn't kick in. (drive like an old lady) 3. Go over the RPM range so the CAGS is over ridden and doesn't kick in. (this is what I do most of the time), AND THIS BURNS MORE GAS!! This is exactly the opposite of what the intent of CAGS is, right? Its to bad the Government tries to shift for us and get us to save gas because this CAGS thing just doesn't work to save gas, it really makes us burn more gas, IMO!!
