Dangit. I ordered an SCT Thursday and cant wait for it to get here. I get on DBombers to play around, read your post, now Im even more excited. Thanks for gibing me another night filled with dreams of smoking tires and black smoke.

A question or three. Which tune are you running? Is it fairly clean or does it smoke? Have you laid off the skinny pedal enough to tell a difference in MPGs? Thanks

It's lower than what your truck is saying 
, sorry.
Extreme tunes will get better mileage. The race tune will get a little better as well since the converter is locked up all the time, but with that tune you either have to drive like a grandma or drive ***** out. I trashed a torque converter in mine beating on it daily with the race tune, but it's still a kick-**** tune.
I checked mileage twice with mine EVER. I did it when I got my tunes from Eric, I tried the economy tune and drove like a putz. I didn't go over 2k rpms, or 10psi of boost (you'll realize how hard this is when you get yours loaded up), and avg'd 15.1 over a tank full. Next tank, I loaded the extreme street in, drove like a complete idiot roasting tires, boosted launches, 1/4 mile runs, and got 15.3. Guess which tune I started using as a DD? I never bothered checking mileage again.
You can push a decent amount of smoke, but once the turbo lights, Erics tunes have a light haze at best, they are excellently dialed in. I had more than one guy at my first dyno day come up and compliment on how clean running my tunes were.

Everyone I know with a 6.0 gets between 13 and mid 15's. The 13's are guys with 6" lift and 37" tires on stock 3.73 gearing. The others are stock height. Normal to me. I find it REALLY hard to believe when someone with a 6.0 tells me they get more than 15 honestly. Have you checked it yourself or are you going off of his word? (Not that I'm telling you not to trust your grandfather, but still).
A lot of times guys will tell you what they're getting based off of what the display inside the truck reads, and that is usually way off as well (high side).
Only real way is to fill it up, then continue to fill and fill and fill until you can see fuel in the filler neck, then run it down and repeat, then check mileage versus actual fuel used.
