Unhappy Need A Few More Mpg

I Have A 2005 Ex Limited 4x4 And Need A Few More Mpg. I Installed A Gibson Exhaust And K&n Fipk, Will A "superchips" Module Make Much Of A Difference. They Advertise It Will Improve Fuel Consumption, But Has Anyone Used One And Have They Seen A Difference?

what engine do you have? you mentioned the SC so I will assume you have the psd. I put an intake and went with the Bully Dog, MBRP exhaust will be put on this week. But with the intake and BD set on economy I'm getting 4+ mpg over stock on the highway. well worth it in my opinion on economy alone not to mention the added performance.

the tuners/chips will never pay for themselves on mpg alone....even on the deezles...

BUT they sure have a payback in fun !

the v-10 is a LARGE honking engine and will never bust the mpg barrier


I got the SCT XCal for my 6-oh and would guess it gives me 1 or 2 more mpg... IF I don't use the extra 100+ hp it gives me
