If your MAP sensor was bad you would know it and should have tripped the CEL. Your truck will be gutless with a failed MAP sensor, very noticeable. A boost fooler just intercepts the signal from the M

After a run place your hand near the wheel hubs to see if excess heat. You should be able to feel they are only warm not cookin hot. I do this often on long runs. Also in the morning I place the truck

Okay, while on your creeper (not talking about dripley) look at the intake boot that goes under the drivers battery. There is a small area where part of the sharp edge of the fender can rub a hole in

Hey guys I'm back! Crazy year, didn't have much money here lately but started a new job and I'm back! Anyways, I received the Quadzilla for my 01 a year ago for my birthday and I was super excited because for once I'll have custom tunes and I will be able to get out of the <15mpg that I had been getting with my Smarty S03.... Boy was I wrong..... Year later, mileage still sucks. NEVER got above 15mpg, no matter if I ran a tune of my own, or one of Mike's, Me's, nor Drips tunes. I'm at a loss from where to go from here. With my S03 I got 18mpg ONE TIME so I know its possible, but I've never been able to break that mid 15mpg mark. All I have done motor wise is 100hp DAP VCO injectors with an Airdog 150, and the axles are 3.53s. Recently the TPPS started going out but I doubt that's entirely the issue. Truck doesn't really smoke at all, but depending on what tune I run it'll obviously effect smoke, just mileage ain't going anywhere.
History behind the motor as its not stock to my truck: Threw it in 2 years ago after my 53 block had cracked, motor sat for about 6 years. 4 months after getting it reinstalled in my truck I threw new injectors, tubes, and orings into it and thats the only thing thats been done to it within its 234k mile existence and it did bump up the mileage from 12 to 16 pretty regularly. Previously it was in an old mans truck before it totaled a deer out and subsequently the truck, so all the sensors had been sitting dormant for awhile.
My question is am I doing something wrong? I've tried to read the datalogs but nothing is out of the ordinary and honestly I don't really know what I'm looking for, so I'll include a 65mph datalog that I took today, kinda a last second deal but I have other logs I can throw in if need be, this is just the latest and the only log I have of the tune I'm running.
If someone can help me I'd be in your debt forever, I'm sick of terrible mileage, especially driving 70 miles a day. I'd really appreciate any help I can get, Happy New Years!
EDIT: I'm going to throw this consideration in, but should I swap PCM and ECM? I got the set when I got the new motor and just respectively threw them on there with their motor, cause at the time I didn't know better. Seemed that the old PCM and ECM combo got better mileage, probably not though, still food for thought.....
