Just save up and do it right with injectors, headstuds, and a turbo or turbos. The only cheap ways of blowing smoke are just hack jobs that nobody should do to their truck.

do injectors affect your fuel mileage?

Yes they do. Just like stock injectors if your heavy on the throttle you'll get bad mileage. If ur easy with the throttle then you'll get good mileage. Even with 150 HP injectors you can get even better mileage than stock. That's my experience anyway.
