Big G Mileage Miser

[NASCAR Mike]

I am looking to improve the gas mileage of my 05 Excursion. I see that Granatelli has a chip that offers 3-4MPG, 50 HP and 150 torque.

Does anyone have this chip in their 6.0?

I am not looking for Mustang GT like acceleration, just better fuel economy.

Summit sells it for $239, much cheaper than a SCT with custom tunes.

i've never heard of that chip before, and if it were my truck, theres no way i would put a no-name in it. i would stick to a reputable brand name that has been tried and true.

secondly, to really get the mileage gain, you'll have to really discipline your right foot...otherwise your mileage will actually go down because of the fun factor.

Do you have gauges yet?....or does it have a built in display? I'd get those before I'd get a chip. And I always thought that anything +50hp and below was for a tow set-up....not economy. I've never claimed to be a 6.0 expert, but I'd question 3-4mpg increase. And my personal prefference, I like more than one power level offered on a chip/programmer like DP/Superchips/TS.....

It's made by Granatelli Motorsports. They have been around awhile.

ckamp52,

Do you or anyone else know where they tested these 12 tuners so I could review them?
