Tuner Fuel Economy

I had the Evo on my last truck and liked it. Seemed to get best economy on the extreme setting. The truck I have now has never had a mod except it has strait exhaust. I am trying to get max fuel econ for my unloaded commute to work. A friend is trying to sell me his Super Chips programmer for this purpose. Is the SC as good a programmer as the evo? What setting should I run it on to get the best economy? Any replies appreciated...

Re: Tuner Fuel Economy

you will want to get a good air filter setup like a tymar for it to breath better. You said you have a straight exhaust so I guess you have a downpipe too. I can get 20 mpg with my truck in my tow/economy burn. But I have a chip. I had a edge evo too but a chip is 200% better it would be what I suggest.
