Best MPG on a long trip was 14.7 highway. That was using math not the computer. City mileage, I don't know, I think maybe 6 mpg
2.3 liter twin screw, 8psi, mild cam, 5.3 liter, 2600 rpm Circle D, 3.73 gears, crew cab 2wd, 22" wheels.

Right now I'm getting 13.5 hwy.

Running a KB Racing turbo kit on my 4.8L

I just bought the AutoCal EFI Live tuner from BlackBear and am waiting for a new tune that's a little leaner up to 2-3 psi.

The truck smells rich right now. I should be able to go leaner without any knock. I've run 89 octane with the boost and no knock.
I might end up going with an intercooler to cool things down a little, not sure yet.
