By no means am I an expert with tunes, but ,SO FAR what I have found is
YES a heavy foot gives you worse MPG
Normal driveing I get @16.5mpg
heavy foot =@15mpg
91 oct tune with a heavy foot I'm getting 14mpg
But keep in mind ,
I just got the tune and the power is incredible so Iv been doing alot of punching it and WOT
Also learning how to DATA LOG so it's been alot of pedal to the medal.
I'll be filling up in the next day or 2 so Ill start dr,iveing normal again and
hopfully will see better MPG

Not sure of the actual hp but a Cai, exhaust and a good 87 performance tune added a noticeable difference to my truck.

Franchi I have a 98 f150 4.6 and I'm lookin into getting a tuner in the future. I'm planning on running one of the tunes already installed on the tuner for a while before I get into the custom ones. which tuner would you recommend?

depends in which SCT you get. The Sct livewire ts 5015 can monitor all your guages in one unit and waaaay less then $1000.
