More Bullydog/programmer questions in general

I'm getting a good deal on one of these so I ordered it. A friend put one in and went from 13 mpg to 19 mpg. I'm still confused why you get better mileage from more HP but I guess I'll learn about it one day.

Question-- I'm not going to hot rod the truck at all, I've heard rumors on bad things happening to torque converters-- any info??

Also I don't have the cash for gauges right now-- what gauges do I really NEED when I get that far?

Thanks, Jeff

I would definately invest in an EGT. It'll be the most expensive but worth it. I have that and a boost gauge. Two most informative gauges too me.
