Default Looking for increased acceleration

I have a K&N air filter and the edge juice w/ attitude. the edge isnt that great and im getting 15mpg highway and thats being a granny driving 65. I know i should be getting much better than that with the cummins. Any product ideas for increased power, quicker response, and better milage?

open up the intake and exhaust and let it breathe. if it can't get enough air it won't be able to burn more fuel. I get 25 mpg mixed driving with mine. Bully dog and boost fooler with opened up intake and exhaust.

it all depends on if you have to smog your truck or not. I just opened up the bottom of my stock airbox so visually from the outside you can't tell.

every little bit helps. I was able to notice a difference with each upgrade. I am happy with the outcome of mine but you have to know when to say when. After too much you gain power but suffer in fuel economy. But all depends on your style of driving.
