Best Fuel Mileage Setting On Edge COMP
#11
This kinda surprises me
Did you not install the boost elbow that came with the comp box? That boost level seems a bit low. Also, I'm sure that these guys getting better mpg's spend more time on rural roads rather than the stop and go traffic in the city. Stop and go is KILLING me !!

But while I'm cruising my average boost around here is 3-5 PSI... In town 15-25 MPH it ZERO boost pressure...
Shoot stop an go traffic in Boise, ID I can clear 18-25 MPG easy! I use my ScanGauge II as guide to control my foot...

ScanGauge II
Now the links page for it...
ScanGauge II Links
It's really cool to Dyno your truck after been working on it to see if you improved it or not...
When I shot this pic I was WOT and gaining HP got to 302 HP and the rear tires broke loose on the highway that was freshly sprayed with de-icer... Lame to try doing a high HP run in the middle of winter...
Anymore questions???

Hell, I can't get anywhere near 600 cruising. Mine is at 850-900 on every setting of my Smarty and Comp.
I think I got the best mileage with Smarty on Stock and Comp on 2x1.
I will try the 4x4 setting, but I can't see how that would be better when it blows way more smoke.

That Scan Gauge looks like a sweet unit. How close are the HP numbers compared to a dyno?

Highier the main level the more fuel and timing total you will get. The higher the sub level the quicker you get to the max fuel and timing.
I'm stock fuel system with only a Edge Comp. No injectors, turbo, etc...
The numbers are normally really close (+/- 20 HP). But there is a few factors that will effect it. Slope/Grade (upslope degrades), Outside Temps (colder degrades), Road Conditions (flooded / slushy degrades - Drag), winterized fuels (degrades - less btus) , cetane boosters (degrades less btus).
About a month ago I was screwing around with a friend and pulled 365 HP on it... Still running winterizied fuel and the temps where barely 30-32*F.

I put a switch on my pump wire for testing purposes cause I seem to remember more mileage from the EZ I used to run. So far I havent noticed a difference, but I was also trying to run 3X3 and keep the EGTs under 600. Now that I realize mopars advice I put it on 4X4 and am trying things there.
