Hi, I am new to the forum and seriously looking for advise from the experienced on this subject. Here are my specs:
Stock AOD trans., engine, exhaust, tires, and chip 80K miles on truck.
Modifications:
-Tru-flow cold air intake installed @ 30K miles
-Condensator installed @ 25K miles (purpose is to separate all the emissions after the PCV valve and collect them, returning only air fuel mixture back into the engine. Keeps the engine from choking on its own emissions) Works well.
-MPG-CAPS- A fuel catalyst, been using since 26K miles
-Shaefer's full synthetic 5W-30 oil (friction reducing metal treatment formulated in the oil) Soon to change all the running gear with this oil. Began using @ 40K miles.
Presently my city mileage is 16-18mpg/ hwy mileage is 19-22ish, depending on conditions. Hwy speeds are 70-80.
This is what I think I know. Please for the seriously experienced, correct my misunderstandings. Unless I get an EFIE, I won't see any more increase in mileage. To get serious mileage I need at least 1 liter of HHO per liter of engine displacement...so my system would need at least 5 liters to see any improvement of say 25-50%.
Now I get foggy on PWM's and EFIE's. Are they something I install and it fixes the problem or are they something that I need to customize my adjustments? If I need customize my own adjustments, I probably know enough to be dangerous here.
I realize that my stock chip, has to go. I am planning on acquiring a custom tune from Black Bear Performance tailored to my driving habits.
Please, I am open to any and all sound suggestions from the experienced.
Thank you.
