when i had my 99 i had a simmular set up to what you are running except I had the pulse with the adrenaline and was getting 20 mpg in the city (no tranny work on mine stock setup)
every truck is different but with the pulse you can do more tuning for your truck and set up and figure out what works best

what kinda things get you good mpg and power like more timeing or more fule bec how i understand it the more fuel the more poer but then of course when you push more fuel for power there goes your fuel how does that work .

Im not trying to be a pain in the *** but i am just trying to up my knowledge about the cummins power house

I thought more fuel would kill my mileage too but I had the fuel setting on the pulse almost full and got better mileage I also had a set of rv275 injectors

you more or less have to try different tunes with different setting to see what works best for your truck and sorry but you are only getting half or less out of the adrenaline without the pulse

I would say your best bet would be to get the pulse first before injectors and if you don`t have them gauges
