Default Wont believe this!!

Guys, ive been tuning on my truck every chance i get. My first 200 miles i got 11.2MPG ... (My Fuel Level Sending Unit is messed up so i just fill her up and then top it off at 200 miles, close to half a tank)
Well after i started with the AutoVE it went from 11.2 to 13mpg.. then 14 then 15... My last fill up i got 17mpg... and i still got a good bit left, like Spark and DFCO.

This is with whats in my Sig... 3000 stall hurts in town but its not nearly as bad as i thought...

I got into boost several times and even got it to 130mph a few times and driving around town and still managed like 16.5mpg or so...
I got my boost tables dailed in to 11.2-11.3 AFR.

And all that was with the AC on ...

Im shooting for 20 before its all over...

ive managed to kill a Crown Vic with 24's on the interstate... that was funny...
a Mach 1, and now ive got it pretty much dialed in on the fuel.. so this is goin to be fun!!!


(anybody got a good 5.3 laying around? Ill turn up the boost once i find one.)

WOT Timing is 13.5* i wanted to get this AutoVE done before i start changing anything else...
Since ive gone to the COS3 and 2Bar MAP sensor.. im gettin KR and low RPMs with the TC locked and slight throttle...
Every now and again i hear Audible KR and showing on the Scan Tool, like gettin on Onramps and such..

But ill get everything worked out.... It does drive alot better and pull harder after the AutoVE...
