Ummm....

Not great but I'm always "deep in it" lol. 14.3 is my average but I'm running 10 ply LT33x12.50r20 too. I could get better but I don't really worry about mileage very much.
You should keep the powerstroke and give that some socal tunes...I bet Shawn is game!

I'd take a 6.7 deleted and tuned over a tuned Ecoboost. Ridiculously mean sound and turbo whistle.

I shall be Socal tuned shortly.
And I want to add something, shawn worked his *** off on a Saturday to get my tunes settled. We ran into a little bump, but he got it fixed. His customer service is second to none. Thanks Shawn!

I'm still waiting for my 87 tow tune so I can't post on what I get towing my boat. 2 days ago I made a quick 50 mile trip to a neighboring town-all interstate. Drove 75 all the way there and back-got 21.5 mpg. My figures are almost dead on with the computer. Running SoCal 91 perf tune Level 5.

Ok! My first impression......... Ready for it? HOLY ****!!!! (Sorry for the language) this is just absolutely insane!!! I don't know how Shawn does it! It makes LMS tunes feel like stock! I feel like I should run 11s in the 1/4!
And I haven't even pushed past 3k rpms. I'm too damn scared to. The gas has a hair trigger, boost is almost instantaneous. I really don't know how the hell he did it but he did. I don't know how I can go WOT. 1/4 throttle feels like WOT.

I'm totally speechless on what this tune feels like, and I have only tried the 5h.

You da man Shawn I'm gonna have a permanent grin every time I get in my truck.

Ive been asked to alter the 5h if possible. That is why there is a 5 and another below that. The 5h has a personality all its own. It would be like asking a Tiger to be a pet cat around the kids. It knows one thing only. Go for it.
