The quest for better fuel mileage has begun
I had the 4" exhaust installed Thursday. I installed the AIS Friday and I'll soon be getting a economy tune from Mike at 5 Star so I hope to be seeing some better MPG. I'm also trying OptiLube and I like it so far it has some of the benefits as 2 cycle as far as quiting the motor and has a slightly better HFRR rating than the 2 cycle. It's a lot less expensive to use too. We will see how this turns out.

PS, I'll get the 6637 back to you Mike. Thanks very much for the use.

Getting better, but not where I would like to be. Next step, tuner. Got to let the wallet recover a little though. I also need to get your 6637 back to you. Again, thanks for the trial run with it.
I planned to check the MPG on a trip to Hickory this past weekend but I had to pull a trailer at the last minute so I didn't even check it.
When I checked it the tank before I was up about 1.2 MPG. So I'm headed in the right direction anyway.

I had driven past your house last night on the way home and seen the beast in the drive way is why i was inquiring....Thanks for the feedback, no hurry on the 6637 it was collecting dust any ways. Did you ever look into a EGT gauge yet? And how do you like the exhaust?..

Here is what i suggest for EGT. You want Pre-turbo for sure. I have used 2 of these gauges on 2 different 7.3L trucks.
