I was at his house the other day and he showed me the p-pump for my brothers 7.3idi that is going into a drag truck and getting compound turbos
I've read through his posts before. I quite enjoy reading them

1997 4.10 gearing auto, SCLB F350 dually, pretty much completely stock. I get better milage towing than empty...

towing 4.5K w/uhaul trailer ~16.8 MPG at last measure
empty, not sure, maybe 12 or 13

Reason seems to be all about RPMs, I go 55-60 with the trailer and get good mileage. Without the trailer I do 74-80 and get crap milage. That said though, I am wondering why I don't do better unloaded.

Well for the few tanks I was driving, I managed to get about 17 to 17.5. That's been on probably 6 or 7 cylinders the whole time though (due to worn injectors.)

I should have the money to send my injectors to Jim soon. I'm wondering how much better I'll get with all none worn out injectors and all 8 firing! Like I said earlier, I'd like to get about 20 average so I think that's probably doable!

Right when I got the truck (and before the TC packed up) I got 17.5 mpg hwy, and that was with a pretty steady fuel leak.

Once the TC is installed and the fuel system is done, I'm aiming for 19 hwy!

on a good day 8 to 10 MPG with light foot, no load or tow, and I have checked the obvious and NO improvement.
