Default Gas mileage? WTF

Ever since my retune and lt's and cat delete my Mileage sucks. Been getting 10-13 average. I was hoping the Efans and New CAI would help but didnt.

how many miles you put on with the tune? ive heard that it takes a couple hundred miles for some stuff to be learned... try the next tank and see what happens.

How long ago did you remove the catalitic converters? I know that this is typical to loose some MPG when the cats are taken off. I have considered doing this on my truck. How much of a decrease in MPG?

I don't understand how you would loose mpg with no cats? The front 02 sensors are still mantaining a 14.68 a/f ratio, verified by the wideband...

do you have to do a crank relearn when you replace the PCM? in the gm service manual it says you have to do it when you replace the crank pos. sensor of course.
