I have a 2008 coupe MN6 with the following mods:
LG Pro Long Tube Headers with high flow catalytic converters, Vararam VR-SC1R, LG G6X3 Cam Kit, Spring kit, Push Rods, Cam Gear, ASP C5 Underdrive Pulley Kit, Milled Heads, LG Super Wire Kit, 410 gears with harden shafts. LG did the tune. I am making over 500 rwhp.

I get about 16-18 mpg in the city and about 25 MPG on the highway. I did a recent post showing I got 25.6 MPG driving just over 262 miles.

You have a TUNE issue! Trust ME! I installed XS Power headers, Ported MAF and a VARARAM.

My STOCK mileage was 25-26 mpg on a Conservative drive. After the mods,, I was only able to get 22-23.

I had Chuck at Corvettes Of Westchester tune the ECU and after his EXPERT TUNE,, I exceeded the factory MPG and the throttle response and power were friggen outstanding.

I got 28-29 MPG on the drive to the cruise in down in Bowling Green KY

You need a VE tune to get your mileage back.
