Would it be safe to say it would also cut down on engine problems as well?

I am getting about 17-18 around town on our econ/race tune and about 20/21 mpg on the highway but i think alot has to do with the completely stock truck other then the tunes and gauges. if it was two wheel drive i might be able to get better mileage or if Matt did beat the crap out of it when he drives
What is odd is that larger injectors seem to return about 2 mpg and even some of the really smoky files get better MPG. It doesnt make much sense as to why more fuel would equal better mpg but we are thinking it my be better atomization of the new nozzels and the high injection pressure commanded that is making the system more efficant.

I have had 2 injectors replaced and my truck is 4x4 but I have seen no new gains in MPG. Do you think Banks is worth the investment. I also have larger tires than stock, 285's but I cant imagine it would make that much difference, especially since I had the same MPG's with the stock tires.

Jermey, I think you guys are on to something, I talked to Matt about this the other day, all I can come up with is how untuned, or innefficient the stock system really is, in compairison as to how precise a HEUI system can perform. The potential is there, you guys might starting to tap into it.
