Default 2003 ss
Picked up this 03 SS last week. Just got back from the Lsx shootout. Avg 15.6 mpg. What mods or is there anything that can be done to help the mpg? Truck is stock, looking to daily drive and pull my 02 ss camaro to the track. Thanks, Phil.

The normal crap will help Custom tune, CAI, Exhaust, weight loss and I think lowering it might help some. Don't expect more than 20mpg at the very very best.

Very nice. I think what gamble mentioned is about all that will help you with mpg. EFans will help too. Have you been on silveradoss.com yet?

That's pretty good MPG if you ask me! I don't think I ever hit the 15's in stock form.
