My truck got bigger!!!
So i never really got around to posting it on here, but this fall I got a new set of tires and rims from my buddy, steppin up to 35s! Thought you all might like to see the new stance
On another note, the truck has a MAF 351W w/ full tuneup, timing set to 12*, new injectors, IAC, and O2 sensor, full aftermarket exhaust w shorty headers no cat, 4:10 gears and 35" tires... and I get 7mpg. speedo and odo are dead on accurate, Ive tested it on a few different "your speed is..." radars. I know my milage wont be anything near what you could call great, but I feel like I should be getting better than that... am i crazy?

Good lookin' rig!
Did you set the PSOM to the larger tires? Unless someone else calibrated the PSOM to 35's, there is no way the speedo/odometer could be right on. Setting PSOM: What's a PSOM & how do I "P" it??? - FSB Forums
There is something else going on though as the tire size change is not big enough to be causing your poor mileage. It's only a 13% difference in size.
I get 10MPG with 4.11;s and 35's with a blower at 9lbs of boost. I get 8MPG if I am rodding around town.
No CEL? Have you checked codes?

I calibrated the speedo myself, was getting too many speeding tickets when it was off.
No CEL, last time i checked codes it was for faulty iac, hence the new one.
As far as driving habits go, doesnt seem to matter. I can drive like an old man and maybe get 8, but thats it.

I would agree that you should be breaking double digits, at least on the higway. Maybe the average MPG could be as low as 7 depending on driving habits if you do a lot of driving around town.
Maybe check the codes again just for the heck of it and also check to make sure the wheels turn freely. Maybe a bad bearing or stuck breaks or something.
