Hi jkidd 39
You mentioned fuel economy, I also notice that you are running a dp tuner.
Did both the injectors and the dp tuner increase economy, did you do them at separate times to guage the increase, and by roughly how much did it affect economy?
Just curious about stage 1's, and how they affect economy.
Thanks

If you knew how Andrew drove, he'd be lucky to get above 10mpg!!! LOL!
It hard to put numbers to it because driving style, gears, tires and other supporting mods affect mpg greatly. I could say mine increased close 2mpg at best. Worst case senerio, mpg stayed the same, but now I have a lot more power and towing ability.

I will get around 660 a tank once I hit 1/4 tank. I figure I have a 38 gallon tank.. use prob 28-28.5 gallons at 650-660 miles = 22-23mpg.
Farmboy will certainly dispute this claim.. but this is what I see. If I run 80mph I drop to about 500 per 3/4 tank = 17mpg.
I did chip and sticks at the same time. I would pull my chip and drive for a week to see the mileage difference but I would go crazy w/out my 80t!

Just my two cents here... Have you checked compression on that motor? I would before I spent $$ on new injectors.
I have read several times on various forums about someone installing new injectors and tunes then something bad happens to the motor. Later you find out the motor was not in good shape to begin with.
I would also get the tranny fixed, new injectors will finish it off quickly.
