Redline Member 41 Member For: 21y 1m 5d Location: Adelaide Posted 07/04/06 02:57 AM Share Posted 07/04/06 02:57 AM What mods have been done to the LS1???Sounds to me like a tuning issue.My LS1 used to get around 17L/100kms all city driving, that was with the Turbo (380rwkw). It used to get around 20L/100kms all city driving with Cam only (300rwkw).I have seen Ford Turbos get anywhere from 14L/100kms to 18L/100kms city driving.
