MPG's with FRPP Cams? Who is getting what?
Hey what some numbers for those with FRPP cams? I haven't run too many tanks on these yet, but my mpg's seem to be a lot lower? what are some you getting for averages?

When my car was stock with just a Steeda CAI(Brenspeed tune), I was gettin 13.x in city driving and roughly 25 on all highway. I haven't got a goodf feel for my averages yet since I have had the car back just under a week after L/T,cams, and gear install, but definetely feels like i am going to lose 1-2 mpg in city. With dyno tune I have to run 93 octane, but might have to order some some Bama tunes so I can run 87 for all my DD driving, then pop the Dyno tune in for some fun.

Cams, LT's, and gears at the same time, yea, you're going to drop a bit for sure. If that's what you feel you lost, 1-2, that's probably about right. Also, the car is more fun with those mods, don't forget that. Especially the gears. It might be hard to notice, but you probably got your foot in it a little more than you did before as well.

We did cams, long tubes, and gears at the same time on our 06GT when we had it.
We lost about 7mpg I'd say. I may be overshooting it by a few miles though.
But I tell you this. We DID NOT REGRET doing that ONE LITTLE BIT.
After putting those mods in the car was like a COMPLETELY different beast.
It was in one word, AWESOME.
I'd sacrifice the mpg ANY day for what those mods gave us.
If you are really concerned about MPG, like... very much concerned, I would not do those mods.
But like most people we did not buy our 06GT for the gas mi.
The new Mustangs have great MPG and power. Much better MPG, so you can be a bit of a tighty on MPG and still enjoy the cars, but for the 05-09GT's.... if you are a MPG freak you should have bought a V6 or a slower foreign made car.
The 05-09GT's are not for those MPG sticklers.
