Now I Know Why...
people like the hybrid race tune so much. I finally managed to load it into my truck and I just couldn't stop having fun with that little honey of a tune. Unfortunately, I think I lost about 1 to 1.5 mpg(I couldn't remember the last hand calc I did before I just filled up today, but I'm pretty sure I did lose that much and I had that tune on there for that tank) when I was using it due to the fun factor but it was fun coming off the line. Between the louder whistle of the turbo and the tires barking I did scare some of the housewives with the minivans that were right next to me at the light. Good times, although I think I might want to put the econo tune back on there for awhile anyway.

I was getting almost 15(I hit 16 once, but that was long ago and before the injectors) and I was running two different tunes pretty frequently. One was a mild street tune(which Evan told me it is the same as the Agg. Street with stock injectors) and the other is a tow tune that Matt had written for me specifically for hauling the horses(we had it detuned quite a bit so that way I wouldn't cause damage to the cargo I was hauling) and those were the two that I was averaging round 15. I had put in that hybrid race for the first tank and I was getting round mid to low 13's with that first tank full, now I also had quite a few town trips as well in there, might have been better if I was able to stretch the ole girls legs some on the road.

LOL! Give it up :-P I tried to be Econo wise.. Just doesn't work.. I've been running Ultra Comp Street, I'm constantly slamming gears and she pulls a solid 15mpg on 35's.. I lit the MT's up the other day, it was nothing but white and black smoke, some sideways action and a rubberband shootoff.. Talk about FUN! Course I had some little punk next to me who kept hitting his rev limiter while we driving down the road.. So of course I just threw it in Neutral, and just slammed the pedal.. Wind was blowing in his favor, I believe he was choking on diesel Soot LMAO..

I know what you are saying, I just my tuner and tunes just a little time ago and loaded the hybrid file and WOW. It's one bad mother. My fuel mileage dripped also, but I would not keep my foot out of it. I put the aggr street econ back in. Mileage is climbing back up now. Hybrid is for weekends only
