MPG went down after simple mods
When my car was stock I used to get between 270 and 290 miles out of a full tank of gas. After a few mods like drop in filter, ztube (which I don't think makes any difference), 350z HR Y pipe and 350z mid pipe the car started to only give me around 200 miles per tank. Does this mean that the car is running too rich? Will a tune help? Thanks for looking!
Yup it should. For me I centralized my bad gas mileage after my bolt ons to the lead foot. Happen to my f150 after k&n and exhaust. Also happen to my old mustang once I added stuff to it. For some reason my foot just got heavier once I put PERFORMANCE parts on 'em 
All joking aside, I love my uprev.

LOL! Probably it's the sound of the exhaust! It get you to places....
But now for real, before the tune... headers or HFC? Can't afford both so I have to decide the best bang for the buck.

okay, a little known fact about the VQ... stock it run pretty lean. you add "breather" mods to the mix and the ECU overcompensates and makes you run rich. a good tune is key.

Would you mind suggesting a durable option?
I have to read more to find the best device for my goals. I want to be able to get a good tune while NA, but If I get to finally convince myself to go FI I want the device to fit as well.

Hypermilers don't necessarily baby their cars either... so to say your heavy foot is why you get such sh*tty mpg is false.
