Ok, I have to preface my answer...(the truck I'm in the process of buying)...has been dyno'd at 480hp/1100tq and he gets 18 city/22 hwy. I'm planning on getting it up into the high 20's (i.e. 28-30) which is the reason why I'm buying this particular truck. Please, no flames. I'll update you all on the progress. I'm going to pick up the truck over halloween and will have 1600 miles to test it in its current state.

I have never dynoed mine but I assume I am around 400 HP.

I usually see 17-18 empty and that is mostly in the city.

408/777 and mine gets 16mpg.. ick.
My bets are on the injector pump and the cam being the next mods that help the most with mileage.
