    U got other problems other than 3.90 and supper 10 killing ur mpg
    How long sence the overheads been ran ?
    Have u checked all the air to air boots and cooler with soap and water for leaks ?
    Are u running straight pipes With no back pressure On turbo ?
    Do u have a fuel pressure gauge ? If so what pressure u got ?
    is it a steady or dose the gauge flicker ?
    In the hills do roll in of the Excelerator
    Going down hill and roll out of it slowly as u start to climb hills topping them almost all the way out of the Excelerator
    Not Bing a smart $$$ just asking ?
    Some people just don't know how to make a cat of the 99 ere work

    I know that at the rate I'm going my rotator cuff will be powder from shifting up and down on every hill I climb. Either too much rpm or too little rpm all of the time.

    What rpm are you climbing hills at? Sounds to me like you're trying to climb at 1200-1300.

    I have no clue what manifold pressure I'm running, I have to replace the sensor OR the gauge, Idk which one yet. (Money is real tight). Pyro is about 1/4 way up, I cannot see the actual number without my glasses but I'll look and get back to you.
