Just wondering what kind of hit your MPG has taken as a result of getting cams.

I used to average 23-25 mpg city/freeway (mostly freeway) before and now it is more like 20-23 mpg...all things being equal except for the cams. I waited a while to post because I had a heavy right foot :D my first few weeks. But, the last few tanks, I've made a point to drive more like I did before (which is still with a heavy right foot), and am getting the above results.

you must have a heavy right foot...well i get 20 MPG average all city and 31-33 on the highway(on last vacation with 3 adults and about 300 lbs cargo)....ask midwayman what he's getting i put them in for him. Will be doing mine soon....i hope.

My milage sucks. I'm averaging about 22-23mpg and that is about 90% highway miles! Gotta get my damn fuel pressure down..

yes you do....w/o a doubt

I'm getting around 27-28. I did notice a drop for the first tankfull after the install, but I put Mobil 1 in the tranny and diff., switched to NGK's, and my S-AFC is leaned out a fair amount.

Well, Im still getting almost exactly the same # of miles off a tank as before I put the cams in. However I have noticed that If I am especially heavy with the gas, the mileage difference shows up a little more. Not like I am a gas sipper or anything.

I'm getting the same mpg I was before the cams. 20 around town and 30 on the highway. This is also with Cobb CAI, Borla Headers, UDP, full cat back and a heavy foot.

I was just wondering about the power gains? So all are of you happy with the power from them for the cost?

Thanks for your time.

The gains are great for the money if you can install them, or get a buddy to install them for you. The gains per dollar really kinda fall off when you are talking Labor on top of the Cam cost.

See above post/\ ,,,the same

brian is right...if you have a friend that can do the install or you can do it yourself it's the best way to go...otherwise the price gets kinda high and you just get the gains knocked right down.

This is sorta O/T to the thread but some of you with the mpg discussion might be interested.

If you've got a palm pilot, there's a nifty little program somewhere on palmgear.com called fuellog. I've been using it for about a month now and it's great. It gives you stats about your mpg, with cost ratios, graphs and averages. It's pretty cool if you're into that sort of thing and happen to have a palm.
