Fixed my wiring today . Also checked my transmission fluid, and it does not appear I lost any.. Wired.


Anyway, still kinda surprised on the bad fuel mileage, as I was getting 16 mpg around town

John,

I have a similar tune on my chip for best mpg they say, but you surely can hear those injectors getting noisy.. Don't like it too much. I either drive in stock position or mild street/ heavy tow, but then got to really keep my foot out of the pedal, other while it smokes a lot.. Even though its fast too .

That tune does smoke a lot in the lower RPM's. But it runs strong as heck though! How old are the tunes you have?
