MPG

SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed),

that is priceless
we gained in our 7.3 using the full exhaust and a predator just over 2mpg
in the tow mode program. and about 4 in the 85 hp load.
but when the right foot and WOW factor took over it was about even, but man did she run

Everyone will have their own ideas and will say for safety you MUST get gauges....

but I've never had gauges on my trucks and have always done exhaust and tuners....
course I'm just one voice in the wilderness

Now, I don't tow anything more than 4k lbs and Texus is flat so no long grades, but I do drive HARD
and having been through a few Texas summers like that without ill effects, I would say my setup works...

Well if I get the edge juice (i think) I can get the attitude monitor with it which has all of the gauges I should need.

Hmmm....
never had an edge, but some of my buds have and many more say it hurts trannies....
I dunno... but do some research... just passing along what I've read on many boards...

 

[janders]

what chip or programmer do you use?

Yeah I wouldn't recommend putting it on 5 24/7, you wanna get on it? keep it to a "every once in a while" cycle

I keep mine on 3 and that's PLENTY of power

If you're asking me, I have an SCT ...

been thru a few tuners and it's the best I've found thus far for a Ford and MY uses....
