I just put my Dobeck TFI on about two weeks ago. Put in the 87 octane, no pinging what's so ever. Took it out onto the highway in traffic, even the State Trooper that pulled me over was impressed!

But here is my problem. Although it runs pretty good, I'm getting a 1/3 less in MPG, which is the big reason I bought it was for better MPG. I usually only get about 32 MPG around were I live, have two tanks of gas thru it now with TFI on, getting 20 -22 MPG. Not acceptable.

Any ideas? I have the settings set on what is recommended for the 1600, which has no modifications, it's stock exhaust and such. Without looking, I think the pots are set at 3, 3 and 5? Now when they said the settings are like a clock, where 1:00 should be off and 3:00 should be two clicks. Everything appears to be running fine, on the first tank of gas I was riding pretty hard testing it out, so expected low MPG, but second tank deliberately rode it mellow to get better MPG, only got 2 MPG more.

Anyone else have this problem with lower MPG after putting the TFI on?
