Torque & Horse & Fuel Economy

With 4" Exhaust & Afe Stage 2 Intake---180.97 Rwhp & 397.40 Rwt--- With Bosch 155 Injectors Added--- 285.22 Rwhp & 573.55 Rwt--- With The Edge Comp On 5/5---323.38 Rwhp & 633.09 Rwt--- This Combination Brought Me To The Level I'm Very Happy With.. I Never Saw Over 15.2 On My Instant Economy Gauge, Before Doing The Mods Now I'm Always Seeing 18-24 Depending On Wind,fuel,or How Much Of A Hurry I'm In... I Only Run Comp Box When I Want To Puff A Little And Take Off

Your overhead is now off!! It reads high because the computer calculations are off with more fuel flow.

Get out the pen and paper. Log your fuel stops and hand calculate.. The overhead is off as it runs on your APPS vs. engine load/speed.. Now you use less throttle for more power, it can't calculate properly.
