There has been quite a few 5.0's breaking down in my area with minor upgrades like cold air and hand held tune. Meanwhile I'm still cruising in my SuperSlow camaro with full bolt ons, cam, and tune with 45k miles walking Shelby's. Love LS reliability

. Sorry for bragging but I have been quiet long enough! Like a forum member said "demonstration over speculation!"

do you guys really see improved gas mileage with boltons/ tunes?

*Milk 1027* · 10-15-2011, 07:20 PM

better breathing = more power, better efficiency. At least that's the theory

BigMatt · 10-15-2011, 09:41 PM

on the highway i usually do between 70-75 I don't drive really aggressive on the highway I save that for the backroads! ps i reset my mgp every time I get on the highway to see how my mpg is. Cruise control KILLS mpg

partymn · 10-16-2011, 01:45 AM

I get 24 and some change with mixed driving on a bone stock motor. I have seen some pretty impressive numbers from these cars, both MPG and RWHP. Best car that I have bought in years....
