Thumbs up Another 2 thumbs up to Allen from Nelson Performance

After letting off on my heavy foot since i just got a cam, I noticed my mpg is actually better than before his tune. I was actually expecting worse milege because of the cam. Maybe its just my imagination now that I am driving my truck softer, but I can really tell my gas is lasting me longer. Way to go Allen.

There is no doubt custom tunes are the way to go. My Westers gained me 3-4 mpg!!

I thought I was out of my mind when I filled up, but it's a trip how much better the economy is AND performance. I hit ~330mi on 20 gal of gas in city driving...that's about 16.5 city. I usually got around 14.4-14.8 city driving before.

My freeway only driving was 19.8 coming back from Houston after my tune...it may acutally get better as my PCM was going through the learning process then too.
