Also something you are not considering is if you are off on the trie size, the odometer is not registering the correct miles driven.
625 to 601 is about 96% of the actual miles driven being indicated on the odometer. That is not a lot, but it will change your MPG figures as well as your speedometer.
You are driving farther and faster than your odometer and speedometer show.

Once you get the gauges ask lots of questions.

I think here is my game plan.
1. Get a turbo/boost and EGT gauges installed
2. Replace factory exhaust with a 4" or 5" system
3. Get a computer tuner (IE- predator or something similar)
4. Load the trailer with women, beer, and finally relax and let my wallet cool down.
Thanks for the great input. I'm sure Ill have more questions as I complete each project.
Cheers
