You need to get that thing tuned better then there is no way in hell with the small stall you have and cam in a 6L that you should get that kind of mileage. Something tells me your computer stays in PE mode all the time

Wont be any track times for another month and a half or so. Money is tight as hell right now and ALOT of things need to be done before I will feel comfortable running it down the track.

I'm only getting 15.4ish and I only get on it a few times. Oh well. I'll tell my dad it's an improper A/F ratio and that a dyno tuner can correct it.

You DD your truck huh Blown? 16 aint bad for the performance you are getting. My truck needs some things done on the tuning and the tc isnt locking right now hopefully I can get out of the single digits with those things fixed.

It took a lot of hard work and the right parts to get my truck where it where it is.
Hang in there you will get it sorted out with tuning.
It took me 2 years of parts and a lot of tuning to get it right.
