Get a diamond eye four inch exhaust or any four inch. That will drop your egts with a slight power gain. What do you plan to do to the truck or with the truck

Get a good set of 50 to 75hp injectors (i.e ddp's or industrial injection) i gained 2 mpg's with my 75's alone. and get rid of the superchip if you do injectors. But thats just me

Yes it will. All im saying is that is one thing that isnt necessary. I just dont think its worth the $300 bucks for a almost stock truck. With my 75's my edge juice on one i can get 21-23 mpgs consistently driving 60 to 70 mph and i get about 17 in town on setting 3.
