    Travis,

    Is this a 475hp engine?

    I would cover the basics in no particular order. That is to make sure the air to air doesn't leak. Over head is set correctly. All injectors are hitting about the same. Some can be weaker then others.

    Tire properly inflated. Air filters clean or new. Try and keep the rpms below 1500. If your running 11R24.5 rubber this should not limit your speed much. If running low pro or 11R 22.5 you can change.

    I'd run it for a while and get a base line mileage. Then you can have someone change the injector codes etc to see if your mileage improves.

    I would only change ONE THING at a time so you can determine if you helping or hurting mileage.

    i just got back from the shop,i had fuel in the radiator. they put new o-rings in the injectors,tubes and updated the cups. i'm going back next month for rods & mains and new trim codes. he's a dealer for schwitzer turbos,so considering switching the turbo and bigger air cooler.
