Sorry for the delay getting back. I would like to get down there for the tune but I'm a little too far away. I think I'll put a few break in miles on it then go for the tune. I'll have to have it shipped though.

I get between 16-17 normally. The first 30k miles I was only getting 12 mpg but then jumped up significantly with no changes or modifications. I actually get better mpg going 80 mph than 65 which is very odd.

A few of you mentioned getting better mileage after a tune; was the mileage increase due to the tune only or did you perform other mods (headers, cats, etc) at the same time?
