| 23.5 MPG Duramax Well I finished the Diesel Power Challenge last week. My best finish was 3rd in the MPG test, which is 150 mile trip up into the mountains of Utah. I averaged 23.47 for the trip, even found out I had the A/C on the whole way  This was using an EFI Live tune that dynos 450-475RWHP on stock LBZ's that I sell to customers. The 1st place truck was using compressed natual gas as well as diesel.

 | Rob- please tell us more about this EFI Live tune you sell to customers- what do you do- reflash the computer? Or do we have to have EFI Live to install this? I am assuming that most of use have hand held programmers or something like an Edge or Bully Dog that has a screen monitoring system. I currently get 12 mpg at 70 mph loaded at 5K. When empty I get 14 around town and 16 on the highway. It would be great to improve on this!!

| I can reprogram your ecm, or sell you EFI Live with this tune included free to match your truck, and you can do it yourself. Tire size, speed limiter, egr delete, etc. The skys the limit with EFI.
