yea i understand that. i have mud tires btw but yes thats a new subject. there is always fuel eco in mind but i do understand it will take a few years to see it. my main concern was being that i put two new injectors in and got worse was alittle strange to me. i guess ill just hope for the best and who knows maybe it was just bad diesel. thank you for all the replys!!

My truck with the mods it has and 4.10 gears I get about 11-12 around town and can get 13-15 running on the highway at about 70 mph.
But it also has a daily weight of 12,00o lbs with a big square box utility body on it.

I love it.
It lowered my EGT's, it has more power, and it sounds GREAT.
I used to be able to get the egt;s up to 1500*+ on a long uphill on ramp and now I can;t get them above 1300*
I use Matt's SRL as my daily tune.

I just bought matt's tune 2 days ago. i was and am still runnin TSD (truck source diesel) tunes and matt told me that awhile back him and chris the owner of tsd made there base tunes together. so after runnin matt's its about the same. i have noticed a few small differences but not much. matt is currently working on getting me more top end power though. anyways i think you just got me hooked on my next present for my truck. I was planned on getting it but havent heard much on it. btw how is the top end power and did you notice any power difference?

I have felt an all around performance increase.
Buy seat of the pants feel I would say a good 30-40hp.
I have to watch myself on the road because the truck just wants to GO.
On the highway at about 65-70 it loves it and will gain without even trying to.
The torque sets you back as well.
I am seeing less boost do to the fact that it moves more air at a lower pressure.
My truck has 4.10's and 12,000 lbs so yours might act a little different.

I'm wondering if there is a dead-spot that might be in the tuning. There shouldn't be, most competent tuners should have the stock turbo taken care of unless they just go their values wrong.

But that's just what comes to my mind when someone says they can't see boost levels for one method of driving, but they can using another method(stomping v. "rolling into"). That is if I'm understanding you correctly.
