I have an 89 formula 350 firebird. When i got it, I would get around 120 miles before my
next fill up. Then when i cracked my valves we machined the heads and i got alittle more Then I put high flow cats, a flowmaster, filter chargerand accel plugs/wires/ &supercoil. I now have around 140-150 to the tank. But what is up with the bad gas mileage?? It seems like the more power I get the better the gas mileage gets but it just slowely grows.

thats stop and go, heavy footed driving too.
about as bad as I could make it.

So do you think that my gas mileage could be improved without losing hp??
