Stage 2 MPG

I was thinking about having the dealer install a stage 2 kit on my car. How will it effectmy MPG's besides my right foot being more active ? Any negative effects?

In town i see 2+ I noticed the up hill area to home where at best at 35mph limit we got 18 now its 20-21. But we do have the SOLO cat and shorty system. Normal in town 24. The low end torque in the GMPP comes in much better and sooner pluss you will see boost levels at peak in the 21+ range(depending on air density alt. etc.) over course if you are seeing that much boost than MPG is going out the door.

Draw backs, if you have not ever replaced you IC hose clamps at the TB, you may very well find that a week link, soon. They are known to loosen and leak at Higher PSI. The stock one just is not up to the task in the short run. Easy fix and a must do.
