Performance and Fuel Milage
 
So I'm a younger guy (almost 18). I have a 02 cummins 24 valve 5 speed. I was averaging around 18 mpg last time I checked. Currently I am working on doing some other things to my truck such as gauges, leveling kit, shocks etc. I would like to get a little more power out of my truck and a little more mpg if that is possible. What would you guys suggest? I have been told the AFE Pro Dry intake is a good start. If I end up getting an after market intake would also getting a new manifold benefit me? My last question is about the edge mileage max chip, what is your guy's opinion on it?

Thanks,
Rhett

One more question, I would like to get tow mirrors. I was looking at the manual mirrors on eBay. Is the quality good on them and do I need the bracket also.

Injectors under 100 hp will gain you both preformance and mpg. A very popular option is Rv275 injectors. If I'm not mistaken they're ~40 hp over stock.

I would do injectors, anything under 100hp. this will increase your power, fuel milage and overall make your truck run better. I bought my tow mirrors on ebay and they are very good quality and you do have to buy the brackets.

Well guys, did my shocks today. During this I had to take off my factory air box and noticed it has 2 cracks that are allowing a lot of dust to get into the elbow before my turbo. So looks like I am going to do an intake instead of some other things. What would you suggest?

Thanks,
Rhett

I'm looking at the K&N intake. I've had good success with their kits in the past.

Alot of people say run a dry filter like aFe but I've never had an issue with my k&n and it's been on there for 3 years

RBHAF air filter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look whats in my sig and I get 20+ mpg and thats playing around, "smokin" if you will...

what are you guys doing to shield the heat from the manifold when you put a bhaf? i know when you buy one its just the filter so i didnt know if you were making something homemade or what...?
