Just because I can... Gas mileage!
So now that I've got the OHC installed, did the TB blade removal....
On flat land, cruising @ 30MPH in 4th gear.... I'm getting 33 - 39 MPG according to the OHC... and so far, it's been accurate in all my other tests
Before the blade removal I was getting 29 - 33 MPG on the same road, in the same direction... Although, today, I was going against the wind, lol.
It's the starting from a dead stop that kills my mileage... Although, that's gotten a little better since the TB blade mod... Less throttle to get moving!

RE: Just because I can... Gas mileage!
I get about 18 - 19 @ 75 MPH on the highway with the 30" tires... It was better on factory rubber
Winter, in the city, I average around 12 MPG....
14or so in the city on average, so far... I don't really baby my truck, so it usually sucks back the fuel pretty good
