Depends on your right foot and mind set while driving, you'll see more once the newness wears off.

Something like rv275s or 65s would be good. In that general ball park

You'll probably see a mile or two bump on average most likely driving conservatively

if you plan on modifying your truck at all, first things you need right away are gauges (fuel pressure, boost, pyro) and a good aftermarket pusher pump. If you don't do this stuff you will be sorry.

With 50hp DDP injectors i went up 1.5-2 mpgs. If you do those with a full cai like AFE stage 1 (dont waste your money on a stage 2), and a 4inch turbo back exhaust, you could see a gain of anywhere from 3-6mpgs depending on things. I would recommend the basic aluminzed MBPR exhaust. its cheap, nothing fancy, and it works just fine. I would go with the muffler though, otherwise you are going to get a very annoying drone at about 70mph. Just my .02
