Default Smarty Fuel Economy?

Hey guys with all of this talk about fuel prices going through the roof this year I am wanting to get a box that will increase my fuel economy. I know the Smarty doesnt add the most power but i was curious as to what if any fuel economy increases you guys have seen. I dont haul or pull or race, its just my dd. I have an ADII 165, and ISSPRO FP, Pyro, and Boost gauges so thats all taken care of. thanks guys!

You can pick up a set of RV's and an EZ for what you are going to pay for a Smarty.

My 65's cost a little less then $300 all said and done. That includes nozzle swaps, pop testing and new sealing hardware. I did the labor myself as well.

I have used the smarty(from luke diesel) and loaded the fuel saver tune in. Took a trip to hickory N.C. and up to Blowing Rock N.C. From MD and got 21mpg.

I don't have my 150's in yet, but the 65's I bought from him are in. They have been doing very, very well. I have scared 25MPG when I had the single HX35 and the 65's in. Considering my trans had some slippage and T/C wasn't properly locking up, I think that's damn good. Can't wait to see what kind of mileage I get with a good trans, and what happens when the 150's go in. I'm very happy with my injectors, and if I ever need another set I know where I'll get them from.
