I dont have any stats before the tune, but I averaged 24 MPG on a 600 mile trip to a Goodguys shows. I feel like it was the best $300.00 I spent. I'm doing a 66 suburban now, and it is definately getting a tune.
If you don't mind me asking, could you tell me who you used for tuning? I am getting ready to drop the 5.3 into my burb and will need someone to do a tune because I am changing my cam and adding a stall converter. Thanks
