Default Seeking higher MPG

Just joined Diesel Bomber and I have a Question. I've been seeking better fuel mileage and power. Right now I have a custom ram air intake that involved moving the battery to where the air box was located and then I built a intake manifold out of three inch pipe. I still don't no result of them yet, I am almost done then I will post pics. Also I have a BD wastegate and a Bd 230hp fuel plate in stock location with star wheel tuned to keep smoke under control but not sure if its tuned properly. Next I'm planing on setting pump timing and and installing new 50hp ddp injector Im in hopes this will get me from my currant 15mpg back to my stock 21mpg anything I'm missing that could help would be appricated.
