Default cam+6L+5600LB=25mpg!!

I recently finished my cammed 6.0 swap into my tahoe and had to take a trip today. Well it used 6.2 gallons in 159 miles. In my book thats just over 25 Mpg. This is all with a 2001 4wd Tahoe with 3:73 gears, and a yank TT2600. With the 5.3 i got a average of 19mpg. Anyone else seeing a huge gain like this?


im just happy as crap

HA now that would make me sell the-hoe and get a mo-ped.

I forgot to mention that i have the marine 8.1 injectors in there also. Knowing my luck its probably a fluke and ill be getting 10mpg tomorrow
