I finally installed the Malone Stage 1 with Dynamic EGR. It allows EGR to warm engine coolant up to 150º and then EGR is disabled. The tune has made my engine run smoother and I have gained power. The Dynamic EGR seems to be helping highway mileage. I will have to finish this tank to be certain but it looks to be a 900+ mile tank.
