Superchips programer. easyist and most MPG per dollar for me.. for 30 bucks more you can replace the stock muffler with a glasspack and free up a little more motor and help the super chip get ya more MPG.. Plus they sound great.

Ok cool thanks! I was also wondering how much of a difference there was in a high air intake kit and just a CAI, and which would be better?

It'll take you a while to just break even. Exhaust mods alone will do nothing for your mileage. Even if you put on a CAI, the benefit will be <1 mpg. Performance and mpg are mutually exclusive.

Keep it well below 2000 rpm. Trying to get good fuel mileage out of these trucks is like trying to get a fat kid to give you his dessert

A programmer like the Superchips or Diablosport Predator will give you the best of both worlds. Power and mpg.
