Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fuel Mileage w/ #10 plate & 3k GSK

[TFPace]

Guys!



I am very pleased with the additional power I'm getting from the new goodies but I am not so happy with the added trips to the pump.



I am watching my foot too. Not trying run the truck any harder than before the changes.



Just so I am understanding to mechanincs of the plate... .



All things being equal... the plate allows an increased amount fuel only when I give it the pedal. Passing someone, keeping up speed on a hill, etc.



Anyway, this is getting too long.



How many of you have seen reduced mileage after this mod?



Thanks!



Tom

Tom, you will need to look at a few things but mainly if it hasn't been done it needs timing, that will always bring the mileage up. Your mods are no different than mine, if your running down the road in a truck like mine you should get the same mileage, I cruise at 70 MPH (2K) 550-600 degrees at 5-6 psi on level ground with 265 tires and get 19-20 MPG on a long haul but I did notice that I'm getting 16-17 in town now, mostly from my foot and aggressive driving.
