Bad tune maybe or your o2 sensors might be dirty and need replacing from the o/r y pipe and headers.

haha i do keep my foot out of it now. Cuz i thought that was why it was so horrible. But its still pretty shitty to me.

I havent even messed with the tune any. Its still stock just with some rev limiter changes, and my speedo is corrected for my tires. I havent jacked with anything else in the tune.

Oh, and i dont have cats anymore.

i went to dallas and back and was getting 12.9 and 13.1 on the high way. Seems pretty crappy to me. In town is really bad.

Air to fuel ratio could be all screwed up and the poor mileage could be a result of that. Or the O2 sensors could be bad or if you took them out and didnt turn the off with the tuner that could be your problem.

thats kinda what im thinking but didnt want to mess with it due to not havin a guage to see what it is. Also i pulled the rear o2s out and they are turned off...

I'd say the air/fuel ratio, and tune.
