trade out my #5 for a #100
I am thinking of taking out my #5 fuel plate for a #100. I am only getting 15 MPG with my #5. Will the #100 help much. I am going to add the kit that will let it go all the way to 3K and a better valve body.

A 100 plate is a home ground thing, I love mine but the only thing I have to compare to is the stocker...
It shouldn't hurt milage at all, IMHO the biggest factor in milage is the driver. Followed by starwheel setting.

Add a block under your throttle if you can not control the mileage any better.
Not trying to upset anyone with that comment but the best way to better mileage after tuning up the truck is summed up in one word.....Moderation.....Andy

what gears do you have 3.54's or 4.10's and what size tires are you running, auto or manual, the 370 marine injectors probably cost you a few mpg's right there, i would sell those and buy some 370's from new era that are edm'd and extruded and honed and all matched, they have the correct spray pattern and they will raise you mpg's 1-3. stay below 5psi of boost all the time that will improve you mileage greatly
