Got my refund on the 100K warranty so i am having a banks intake and the 91 t/p tune sent to me. I am excited for these new goodies, I am hoping to be able to break the 20 mpg barrier. I am sure that if I would just slow down to say 68 it would be 21-22 lol

That's awesome man!
Ya I love my 91 p/t tune, pretty much only run that one now. Think I posted in here but did a 200+ mile trip few weeks ago and pulled off high 22 mpg! And that was going from little over sea level elevation over a summit up to almost 7k elevation, then back. I was actually right at 23 mpg until I got back home into town and had 20 minutes of stop and go traffic. Was extremely happy.
Of course about 90% of that was with cruse control set at
65 +/-
II know once I get my 33" meats it's gonna go down though.

Well I had the opportunity to run my truck down to Denver and back to Cheyenne. I made myself run at 70mph with about 20 miles stop and go traffic in Denver I averaged 21.75 mpg!!! This was still on the 87 t/p tune and I haven't had a chance to install the intake or the intake tunes. I can't hardly believe the mileage I am getting now with this thing. 5* tuning and Chris are amazing! I have told everyone that asks to go to them for their tuning needs. I will be tuning my wifes SHO soon!

Finally added the banks intake and the 91 tow perf tune, holy cow I didn't think it would be that noticable of a difference but it was. I have a trip coming up next weekend that should let me try out the mpg and see if they get any better. Can't wait!

Well, Bill Lindsay started Stage 3 motorsport in 2004 and now they are bigger than ever. Don't think they'll be disappearing anytime soon.

That's very true, something catastrophic could happen and the world could end tomorrow also. That's true too

Well, I am thinking my mileage is getting ready to go to hell. I purchased a set of bfg KO2 275/65/20s yesterday. They are the same width as the stock Pirelli tires I had but about 2.2 inches taller. LOVE these things. I was in 4WD with the Pirelli tires and I was sliding everywhere, with the BGFs I can putt around in 2WD and not slide at all! I can already tell mileage is down but the truck just feels so much better I really don't care. This spring I am probably going to be buying the turbo set up from 5star anyway so who knows where my mileage will end up. I am still running the stock black 6 spoke FX4 wheels and there is just the slightest rub at full lock right. I am going to Denver for Thanksgiving so I will have a good 250 miles to report my mileage change.
