i heard your fuel economy will go up if you can keep your foot out of it (crap i was blowin smoke all 65 miles of my driving today...) cause the fuel atomizes better

Actually it does better if it atomizes some time before it comes out the back. LOL

Talking

I have heard that most will say that you get better fuel mileage with the stage one's or two's. They are more efficant and that means more power, so not only do they pump more fuel into the chamber but they do it better by atomizing more fuel/air ratio. This will mean that it will get you truck moving a lot easier than before, so if you are not racing the truck with an all out full throttle you will actually use less fuel to get you truck going. The size of injectors only help when you step on it and need all of that fuel to go through the nozzle at once. I have heard a lot of differnet numbers on the gains but I think each truck is different, but one thing is true most poeple see an increase in fuel mileage.

Yeah that all sounds good, but one question... How long have you been married? Because she is the boss, especially if you have a baby, then THEY are the boss.
