Forget Speed - Best Tuner for MPG's

[Rodslinger]

Most on here will agree that a custom SCT tune from your favorite tuner will get you the most bang for the buck on the speed side. I had a buddy of mine call me and ask what was the best manufacturer for someone who want NOTHING but better fuel economy. I was at a loss since I prefer the speed and to heck with mileage, so anyone have any thoughts, opinions, or experience in just the MPG area on the 6.0?

Not on a six-o, but I'll bet a small increase in power will yield better fuel mileage as well as some emmission reduction stuff

He'll come around Alan LOL

Maybe and SCT and a program written for milage only? I bet the programmers out there will write one.

Speed and Torq is where the fun is at. forget fuelmileage.

on stage 3 where I have it set to its listed at up to 125 hp and 190 lb/ft..she runs really smooth and fast...dumps a lot of coal when wanted as well

I would recommend it but i get those mileage figures while cruising down the highway and babyin it (65-70 mph)

I think I know who you're talking about... I'm wondering if Eric or DJ could write a custom tune for mpg. Have you spoken to them? I'm assuming that Doug would buy an SCT to squeeze a few more mpg's out of it...
