Yes there is alot of stop and go on my route. My average speed per my new scangauge is 27mph. Speaking of the scangauge, Ive got mpg, avg, tps and lod displayed currently. I feel like lod isnt super helpful. It seems that mpg is most affected by tps. At 45mph in 5th gear and tps @ 33 mpg reads about 17 on flat gound and if I can get the tps down to about 10-15 mpg goes into tge 22-27mpg range.

Im going to try a grill block first. I forgot to mention that in an earlier post. And It will be a good chance to find a good a-b-a testing area. (finding flat ground will prove difficult) Im actually thinking of making two seperate grill blocks one on either side. If it proves to work Ill make some perminate ones from aluminum. Hmm... Another thought, make one big grill block riddled with loovers pointed towards the ground and then slightly angle the top rearward. Temps in my area reach the high ninetys and lower 100's in summer and Id hate to be taking the thing out all the time.

So thoughts on my loovered grill block and a different gauge on the scangauge then lod...
