    BEST TUNE FOR MPG

    Well took a trip last night set my tune to 150hp 29 degree timing 1850 didn't know the turbo was on quick spool. Well truck really liked this tune I know the evic isn't 100%but I was getting 23.3 mpg. This was about a 60 mile trip with mostly highway and a little city getting on and off the exit ramps. I am very impressed. Now I need to hand calculate to see how far off the evic is. I hope I am not to disappointed.

    Do you have head studs? I run around the 200hp duration, 23° timing, 1850 RP and get around the same fuel economy with 35s and 3.73s but I'm not studded and have to baby it on that hot of a setting.

    I don't see that you have one on Tapatalk but I assume he is talking about a race me Ultra. I could be wrong, I've been known to be before

    I run that tune every day and I even tow a small work trailer with it. Now i don't put my foot in it........No problems and i am getting great mileage. Once I even towed my camper with that tune about 75 miles and no problems.
    But I might not do that again.

    It doesn't matter. Since I do most of the tech. The least people can do is give us complete information. That's why there are so many inaccurate answers on other forums. We need to break this habit. It's my biggest gripe. I'm not into guessing

    I do allot more than moderate around here

    Maybe if everyone could fill out their sig, we could get a better picture of @Polaraco??
