Best mods for making the better mpg
Just bought a GTA with the 350/auto combo and switched over from a 92 v6 firebird (great mpg, and for sale now) and was wondering what the best mods would be for my new car to get the mpg up. I've already got the k&N, air foil, and cat-back. What next and what kind of MPG has your cat achieved?

I got a very slight gain in my MPG with the headers from Edelbrock I installed.

Learn how to burn your own eprom and invoke "Highway Mode" in the eprom. I get almost US 30 mpg on the highway with my L98, and then when I stomp on it, I have an optimum eprom for WOT. You actually do get to have your cake and eat it when you burn your own eprom.
