FWIW, I didnt see any change in mileage after my tranny rebuild... best mileage is a light foot, keep boost down under 10psi and for TST powermax users... try 3/2... works for me as I'm now easily getting into the 18's while keeping my foot out of it and driving like I mentioned...

keep your foot out of it is the only way... takes alot of self control

Well my truck isn't modded as much as triton's but I've done a little to it. I got 18 on my last tank, it is below freezing and I've been running a 50/50 blend for most of the winter. This last tank was number 2 but still a winter mix and the tank wasn't dry when I filled up. So I figure it was around 18% number 1. I had the Edge on 5 and only played around a little.

50hp injectors may increase mileage depending on driving habit. normaly with the 50hp injectors the only real change is the spray pattern, no change in nozzle hole size.
