Yeah but hes running a higher rpm then you on the highway... Drinks more gas... Thats why 4.10 for him puts him back at almost stock power and gas milage... Right now hes got more power (from rpms) and less fuel milage... And u got less power and more gas milage... Well more then him... Your so fad behind in lack of power your gas sucks when excelerating...
3.55 and 33's with a 5 speed was about right for me... Back to stock power and almost stock speedo settings...

Which is why I want to gear up.
Op could gear back down, but 8mpg is bad as bad can be.
Off-highway he isn't seeing 4grand anyway.
Unless he's got the hammer down all day long.

if i were you, i would turn that pressure back down. the factory injectors are just wimpy single hole dealies. maybe you're not getting good atomization...are they rebuilt injectors? an upgraded injector set is a worthwhile investment on a renix. i'm positive my ford yellows helped my mileage after my lift and tires...although its not something i monitor closely, i'm usually getting just over 300 miles to a tank when commuting. that would put me a little under 15mpg. good luck

The injectors are stock, need to pull them and take a look this weekend. Im sure they are out of there duty cycle. Gonna probably give the 703's a try.
