I just put a bbk on my truck because my stock one was sticking really bad at idle. After the install I have noticed a huge increase in gas mileage. I went from 200 miles at half a tank on the freeway, to 260 miles. What would cause this to jup so much??? Thanks Mark
same thing happened with mine man i think my computer is reading wrong or it could of been that stock TBs suck that bad or because yours was sticking it might have been dumping more fuel in it.

Mark--
I noticed a nice increase in my MPG as well. Your motor is seeing more air to combust with the fuel...hence giving you more power--and since the computer is reading that it is making enough power with less fuel, it is cutting the amount of fuel it needs to create the necessary power.
Did you have to adjust the idle screw to make sure it stayed alive at idle?
