You mean MSD? Taylor makes a good wire if you can't find any MSD's for some reason..

A good tune-up will help....wires, plugs, air filter, fuel filter, good synthetic oil and filter. If you have the extra money a good synthetic gear oil in the differential/s will in theory cause less friction and wear, which would decrease some drivetrain loss and give you a little more power/mpg. Every little bit helps right?

And then there's mods...but those are like tattoo's in that they're addicting and once you start you can't stop. Basic bolt-ons like a cold air intake, headers and a catback exhaust should free up some ponies..

I have a RCSB ramwith a hemi...I was just giving you basic tips that are more or less universal for all vehicles. I checked msd's site and it looks like they make your wires that are custom fit for your 360....here's a link. http://www.msdignition.com/wire_sets.htm#chrysler

I get about 16-17 in city and about 23 highway...my truck is small though with 17" wheels. IfI have a lead foot that day I get about 13-14 and 18-19 highway...mpg has a lot to do with driving habits along with proper maintenance.

No..I wouldn't get those. Half the factory wire resistance is still very high...especially for "performance" wires. Check out these taylor thundervolt wires on summit...they're good wires and only have 50 ohms resistance per foot. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...p;autoview=sku

I'd also wait for other people to post their opinions before buying a set.....you know what they say about opinions
