Have your driving habits changed recently? Like are you doing more short hops now when before you were doing mostly freeway trips? Could someone be siphoning gas out of your tank unbeknownst to you?

I did install a force exhaust, but only ran it for a short time. I then reinstalled my stock headers and the race can. Should I have my TPS reset or something to that effect?

Are you running the race can with a stock ECM or with a race ECM?

The race ECM will richen the mix "I THINK" and should use more fuel. Not THAT much more though... Did you settle the AFV (ride at 3500 in fifth for a few minutes)? Did you set the TPS on the race ECM when you installed it?

No, I never had the fuel curve adjusted. That's the main reason I took off the Force exhaust.
