higher hp tunes and mpg
- Thread starter Barlow
- Start date
I'm guessing it will, based on added injection timing...BUT, it all kinda depends on your right foot...

the way this guy drives he gets 30 mpg... its like he is driving "Miss Daisy"
4,600+ posts of your's have been a waste of space...Please refrain from your nonsense in the immediate future...Thank you...
I know when I am runnin my race tune from McRat/Neens I get around 22-23 higheay at 73 mph, and I can't break 20 mpg with my clean 100 tune
As long as timing is up in the higher hp tunes mileage will be better. If you can keep your foot out of it.
FWIW, I have gotten better mileage with my high HP McRat tunes than the lower tunes the first time I ever broke 18mpg (2WD, summer tires, #2) was the race tune.
I have even gotten 0.4mpg more in 4WD with my new HTT and the corresponding McRat tune in commuter traffic which runs about 70 mph max with lots of surging up and down.
My wife was not impressed with the increased mileage, she asked if I upgraded the turbo for mileage. I said no, it was an unintended consequence of adding the turbo....she already knows about the first half tank that was at 7.5mpg (in 4WD) with the new turbo. Man is that thing cool.:angel:

How are you guys driving to get these numbers? lol I tried driving like a grandpa the last time I went to Vegas...on the way there I got 17.5 on my 100hp tune and on the way back I got 18.4 on my 500hp tune
Sounds like mine.... same friggin numbers. I think the 285's cause some of that...
But you live in Kansas. It is sooo flat mileage will always be a little better.I have 285's on H2's and I still get 21-22 on the highway with the "wendy" tune in
Timing helps a bit but i think the biggest reason guys get good mileage on the races tunes is having to be easy on the pedal either to avoid smoking ( not all race tunes but some ) or flat avoid the big power , could be way off but I have played with alooooot of mileage type tuning and nothing i could tune could beat what my foot could due for improvement not that i could remove the lead weights in the toes of my shoes anyway but ................

Trent is right to an extent, if I get into the pedal to much with the big tunes I either piss people off behing me or I have to run 4 wd to find traction. Oh yeah and theres the hole stock alli issue
