I have a stock tune from Firestone of all places and get 25mpg at 90mph/ on the interstate. Going the speed limit, I get pretty good gas mileage.

I just got 270 out of my sixer. I used to only get around 200-220. Then i took out my MT CAI and put the stock one back in and just replaced the filter with a K&N, and a little mod. to the filter housing. But i was pushin it on 270, i would have to turn the car over twice to get it to start.
