    What is his normal highway speed though?

    Some data logs would really be helpful. We need to see how the truck is driving to see if anything stands out.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    And not just his speed, how does he get to speed, how does he drive if in "highway" traffic? Does driving nicer get you back to the epa numbers?

    With the changes you made.. Be sure it isn't going into PE too often on the highway.

    Not the best data logs when it doesn't have the vehicle speed or any fuel trims to see how it's running.

    Tons of knock retard all over and it's probably slow as hell at full throttle. It's got no timing in it when he floors it.

    87 octane fuel will do that. And if burst knock is still active.
