For a tune alone on a stock engine, for your truck you can expect 10 to 14 rwhp and 14 to 18 torque gains about.

Like 8-9.MAX. nothing big. But still nice for a tiner. I like to use it for towing. Makes it shift a little smoother

With custom tunes, each one will act differently for MPG, depending on how it was tuned and what you have on your truck.

I have an SCT with 5-Star tunes. My truck has a CAI and cat-back, with 35" tires and stock 3:55 gears. The gas saver tune did nothing for my MPG, but the performance tune gave me an extra 1 mpg. Now if I had 4.56 gears, I may get better MPG with the gas saver tune than I do the performance tune.

The performance tune really woke the truck up. Don't know how much HP I gained, but it feels a lot peppier.
