If she gets blown up much more we&#39;ll be staring at her face through her cleavage. [/b]

And that&#39;s a problem?

I&#39;m wondering what kind of mileage other LS1 conversions are getting . I have a 98 LS1 with no Nelson tune as yet in my 94 half ton . She still has the stock gears which I think are 3: 08 and a 4L60 tranny . I went up to north Mississippi this weekend to look at a house and topped off with 93 octane before I left. I&#39;m figuring pretty close to 20 mpg and that was running the a/c most of the way and cruising at about 75mph with the occasional burst up to 90 . Does this sound right and would a Nelson tune improve the mileage ? I was really thinking I&#39;d get closer to 22mpg . I was also amazed at gas prices up there . I paid &#036;2.76 for premium up there versus &#036;3.19 down here in N.O. Thanks

Your truck is very similar to what mine was years ago. I remember when I had the 3.42&#39;s, stock ls1 and auto, it got about 26mpg, no kidding&#33;
Our trucks are pretty light, so we get a tad better mileage.

Ya, we normally get feedback of 1.5 2mpg increase from a tune.

Is your truck an rcsb or ecsb?

I wonder what the weight difference is between a reg cab short bed, and an extended cab short bed. Assuming everything else is equal that is.
