Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 1387070, member: 1451"] I dont think 16 is terrible. Its a 8klb truck on 35" tires. Low icp? Whats that have to do with mileage? And the spray isnt lacking with a 200% nozzle. Im not sure what you were told but an 80% nozzle and a 200% nozzle are both virgin nozzles, the edges of the orifices over which the fuel passes are the same and atomization will be too. Getting 16 with 250/200s and getting near 20 with stock everything are relevant in a discussion about fuel mileage but the similarity stops there. Its 100x easier to get to a cruising speed with a medium hp setup(200% nozzle). I always felt like a codes with a small nozzle(ac 30, 80, 100) were a compromise. You get a bump in power but the truck is struggling against that nozzle. A daily driver or what is called a tow tune on a stock chip makes as much power as the 175/80s do. And it runs cooler to boot. 200 degrees. People are really over simplifying the nozzles. Its not 2009. My 250/200 tunes from php worked right out of the gate like a custom tuned chip does on a stock truck. Bill really refined his database of files when he did all that testing three years ago on Jason Seay's dually. Forged rods, studs, springs, p rods, bts, 250/200s, bullet wheel. They started around 525 in the dyno which for boxed tunes is great. Then massaged it to 550 something...then added a billet wheel picking up 5lbs of boost and dynoing 603hp. Whether the numbers were right on with the gold standard, the 525 baseline is pretty damn common and acceptable as what it should make. Its an efficient setup. That translates to decent mpg. If you're happy with a codes and what you have, thats cool. But im not buying 20mpg out of an acode truck over a hybrid with 200% nozzles because A) where fuel economy happens the nozzle doesnt matter B) Ive had both and the a code to be in that efficient range isnt making power much higher than a stock truck running ragged. No pissing match but tuned to run clean and not using huge amounts of pw that translates into heat my 175/80 38r combo dynoed 420hp. That was the max power i could extract before i started to run into egt or smoke issues towing. Hell empty for that matter. At 450hp it was starting to have to be handled to keep smoke and heat minimized. And outside clean and cool operation those injectors get terrible mileage to boot. 200% nozzles arent limited by that. Run what you want. But 200s arent scary. And 16mpg is good in my opinion. Heres a cclb dually with 250/200s and 38r pho tuned going from 15-20mph to 90 in the tip if a toe and if you watch the mirrors it didnt appear to smoke at all.
