JackMcCornack: Could you explain pumping losses that occur with my setup running in boost other than at idle and going down steep grades? Also how does warmer air make it more efficient vs cooler air which makes more power and requires less boost to achieve the same required power to overcome all drag/losses on the vehicle?
Frank Lee: I'm loosing power at all times so explain why it will not be noticeable in mpgs. Refer to my statements to JackMcCornack.
JQmile: Thanks for the input. Explain how cool/warm intake air alters mpgs from your experience. Do you think a liquid/air intercooler vs air/air with grill block would be beneficial? The highest engine temps I have seen so far has been around 200-205 degrees with low 90's ambient.
tasdrouille: Please explain your experience with IAT and mpgs.
Christ: When you speak of the knock are you talking about the same thing that happens when you advance the timing? If so I know exactly what you are talking about. Also please share your experience with warm/cool intake air and mpgs.Thanks.
My way of thinking is that if the truck is as aero as possible and get as cool air as possible (to a certain point) the mpgs will go up.
