Just called EFI and setup a dyno tune for next Thursday at 10:00AM. Sucks that it's a 2 hour drive but they are the best around.
Cams are beeing installed...

What kind of mileage are you guys getting with your cams?

Well after driving about 70 miles over the last day with them I'm a quarter down off a full tank.
Whoa, I used to get about 17 mixed as well before the cams and other mods, but now it's aobut 13.5 mpg. I've been in really ****ty traffic lately. Thank god for my DD Fusion.

Yeah, it's not unheard of for me to average 14/15mpg on half a tank or so. But that's the the mileage of the set-up, that's my immaturity in action.Whoa, I used to get about 17 mixed as well before the cams and other mods, but now it's aobut 13.5 mpg.

So far I think what HiTech says about these being the best N/A stage II cams are true. Granted I don't have any other cam to compare it to but most people say they lose a lot of low end tq with other stage IIs. After driving 30 miles today and experimenting with light acceleration at different RPMs to see if I lost any low end tq I came to the conclusion I didn't. To my surprise (butt dyno) it feels as if I gained TQ from all RPMs and the throttle response has improved all around. No bogging down and no sluggishness when going up a hill at low rpm under load. I can touch the gas and she just jumps. We will find out next Thursday after the full 93 oct dyno tune. I can't wait to see how she is after the LTs, X pipe and 4.10s. I'm thinking I'm putting down around 280 rwhp. One thing I noticed is my car seems much louder inside and out with the cams, sounds just like an old school muscle car.

w/out a retune you likely lost low end torque for sure at this point, should be rather lean. I'd take it easy.
+1, isn't it great?
I still can't decide what I like more, the old school V8 sound or the high RPMs pull.
I think Chris from EFI game me an an overly Rich tune to be safe for the time being (smells rich) until I can get to his dyno. To me it doesn't feel like I lost tq but I guess I could have and yes I'm not going to go WOT untill the full dyno tune.
