What kind of mileage do you get with the cam swaps. i was thinkin about a cam for my 05 4.8. i want the lope but i really like 20 miles per gallon.

My CC 4.8L only gets 16.2 MPG. You should be very happy at 20 MPG!

i really am. im interested to see the mileage after i get it tuned and add the exhaust.
I am not sure about the 4.8, but my 5.3 went down considerably...but that may also be tied to the fact taht my foot is stuck in it all of the time! My 10.2 MPG is the result from a cam, stall, and a heavy foot. But i also have noticed my needle drops a lot faster when my e-cutout is open...

cammed LS1, stall, LTs ORX, 3.73s, tune etc.
thats not bad. any suggestions on a cam and stall ? thanks
i know on my suburban, the tune literally added 2mpg. i went from 13 to 15. but thats a 4wd sub and thats city. i cant stay out of the silvy long enough to see what it will get. last tank was 9.8mpg

damn some of you guys get some good mpg. Mine is 1 month old and nothing done to it and im lucky to get about 17-18 on the freeway. I have the 5.3 and was told most people pull 20 on the freeway.
new engines dont run quite as good as engines that are broken in. With Allens tune I get about 20mpg, but I have to use 93 octane. Tyler was right though, keeping your foot out of it is hard. Most people dont get a tune to save gas, but to go faster. I wouldnt worry about gas mileage, if you are that concerned Id get a 4 banger or a hybrid. unless you are an engineer and know how to do multi displacment on our trucks, youll never get over 22mpg IMO.
