| 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. |

| Was there another model there this time? Christine LeMaster was there last year (WHOA!) and was wondering how they organized it this year.
Was Tomac there at all?
Congrats on 3rd place!! | |
