His truck was his "shop" truck. He owns a diesel performance place so he threw everything at it that he could. He ran higher boost at one time but it was blowing his injectors out so he had to dial it back.

He had 38's on it and could roast all 4. The truck is a serious beast.

Tests are done all the time. Intakes are proven to increase mileage time and time again.

On my Stealth it is rated at 19 city and 24 highway. With an intake, downpipe and test pipe as my only flow mods I AVERAGED 26 mpg daily driving it. I got more mileage than it was highway rated for.

Unless of course the engine is really working to pull that air in. What does an intake gain at WOT, like 5 hp? so pull it down to 20% (or something like that) of that airflow and the restriction is not as big of a deal anymore. Intake could help mileage, could hurt it. Ill believe what i believe for now until i see tests. And I run open cone and ported TB anyway.

Show me then.

It's kinda common sense that flow mods make better gas mileage. Mine car running a really rich tune gets better gas mileage than when i was stock.

Super slow in a short distance yes. Why don't you race one over 1000 miles and see who wins.

I can muster 35mpg at times...
