any clue

Over how many tanks of fuel? Also Bump the timing to 16.5, mine loves it there. New injectors should help, the old ones can be causeing some issues. Anything else different goin on with the truck? Do you guys get winter blend fuel down there? Places up here are switching to it again to it up here and my rigs always get worse milage with it.

i'd say your stock injectors probably have something to do with it with the twin set up and also last time you changed all your fluids and filters?

everything has been serviced reacently and its been goin on for a little while now even befor i got my twins no winter fuel around here yet i cant figure it out nothing has rely changed on the truck but the mileage

Loss of mileage is one of the textbook normal signs of slipped timing. When they slip it always retards it. Likewise, loss of power (particularly at high rpm) is completely normal also when it slips.
