If you modded it (eg. induction kit) without a remap it could quite possibly be running rich, hence lower economy. A remap could sort that out as well as getting more power.
I had exactly that problem: 335hp/313 FtLbs before and running v.rich....360hp/398 FtLbs after and running fine.

I got better fuel economy with each subsequent remap.

220-240-260.

Standard-320bhp-390bhp.

Complete and utter thread-jack, but we've done fuel economy to bits. Did you get the APS3.5"??
