I knew about the programmers, and I saw someone put up a fuel economy tune on focaljet. Looks like it was a couple years ago. The problem is the large price tag involved for a small gain. If you keep the cat (which I will) you can't run very lean at all. I can't justify spending that much money to improve maybe 6-8% or ~2-3MPG tops, because even at 20,000 miles per year it would take many years to get a return on that investment.
