Nothing will compare to my whipple S/C 2012

I recently gave my 2012 Supercharged Tunda to my daughter. She has a 4" lift 35's and still vicinity me 21.5 mpg on my Trip from Tulsa to Mountain Home. I now have a 2024 in Lunar Rock with a 3" lift and 35's. The throttle response isn't even close with this new truck and neither is the HP. I'm going to miss that Ole girl... In the meantime I'm working on solutions to bring the soul of my 2012 into the 2024. That Truck took me all over the country.

 

The new Rig, so far.

 

I'm feeling an engine swap mate

 

Nice! Welcome to the forum. My throttle response has been ok, but it does seem to take a second to decide if I’m serious sometimes. Also I have an aftermarket tuner for the turbos but have not installed it yet.

 

21.5 MPG?!

 

As long as I didn't get on it, absolutely. Whipple did a great job with the tune. She loved 93 octane when I could find it.

 

I can hear the supercharger whine from here.

 

Likely indicated mpg with Whipple's injector upgrade. My stage 2 Harrop will show 24...

 

Trucks mpg computer doesn't realize there's larger injectors, it just sees a smaller injector pulse width at normal operating conditions (to get the same fuel flow rate when not in boost) so it essentially thinks you're idling all over the place even though you're putting down miles, thus big mpg numbers.

Sorry to break it to you maybe don't tell your daughter so she isn't inclined to sell it when she realizes it's actually 10mpg

 

We saw a huge difference back and forth to Tulsa. We used to fill up 3/4 of the way. With the S/C, we'd get there on 3/4 of a tank...
