Wow, that's terrible about the other guys car... At least he walked away. He did deserve the 1st for sacrificing his car. I totally agree with you. Well Jeremy, it looks like you're the top dog now! Next time you post, I want to hear a first place finish! lol

I'm a little lost when it comes to people claiming that highway mileage can vary by up to 100 miles per tank. I personnaly have never seen more than 260 miles or so even driving on the turnpike or whatever. (This is going to about 12 gallons, when the light comes on.) Anyhow, Travis, when tuning, all we touch are WOT maps. Sure, you lean them out. What does that have anything to do with cruising AFR's? On the highway, with respect to WOT tuning and maps, the guy running 9/1 AFR's has no disadvantage compared to the guy running 12/1 AFR's. This is because neither are using WOT maps. They are all on the stock cruising maps or whatever they're called. Now if you're comparing WOT gas mileage, then of course there may be a difference, just like someone running larger injectors. Please explain this to me Travis, because I know you know the most about tuning around here. And my gas mileage sucks, it did stock, it did with Al's tune, and it still does with Chad's tune.
Also I drive out of boost a lot, as much as i can when im on long trips just to conserve fuel....But the fact i run a lean wot afr I can also keep that good mileage even when i decide to play a little because im not wasting any fuel
There is a lot of little things that can be done......It might be hard to believe but that 27.5 mpg is true, I have no reason to tell stories

I got ya now Travis. I'm sure it could make a difference if you're tweaking all of those parameters.
Mike, to be quite honest, I dont' think there's a "bad" option for cams in a IX. Personally, if I had a IX, I probably wouldn't even do cams. Like Travis and I were saying, is $500-600 + install time or money, really worth the supposedly gained 10-15 whp? You make the call. They're all good choices, cossies, hks, gsc, whatever.

I actually use this on my entire exhaust system and it works perfectly.
Good luck!
