I have a 2012 boss 302 jlt intake, flowmaster mufflers, off road x and a lund tune cammed race version.....

Does the cammed tune just eat gas 24/7
Compared to a non cammed tune?

I'm babying it all around town not even going past 2k - 3k rpm and in town
I'm getting 10mpg....

I mean I know it's a mustang I'm not gonna get civic mpg
With over 400HP lol

I put a half a tank in it and it shows 130-140 till empty like really

Let me know guys maybe just a street tune will help

I've read on another forum the cam tune reduces mpg. The cams are in less then ideal positions for part throttle driving to get the sound.

It's a tune that makes it sound like it's cammed. I think Lund was the first. It's only for the 11+.

i got like 2-4 less MPG with the cam/ lope idle tune from AED. if you were on E85 i would say 10 is good but on normal gas you have something wrong.
