Big injectors with a fueling box. Don't do it though, smoke is gay.

your truck isnt a v6. Its a inline 6 or straight 6. And you posted in the wrong section.

Fuel Mileage... The basics really make the biggest difference in my opinion. Just adding a new intake/filter gave me 3mpg.

V6 haha. Make power not smoke buddy. Smoke is the reason the new trucks have DPF's and other emissions bullish**. Help out the hobby and passion and please don't go around throwing smoke at everyone. It looks bad and is ruining our hobby

to all you knocking smoke. just remember with high powers comes smoke. mine smokes at idle cant be helped big pump and big injectors. ive done all i can to keep it from it. but that 850 hp pull on a vp looks good. but i agree to a point keep it off the roads its dangerous and kinda childish. not to say that i havent done it to some jackass on the road but thats part of knowing when to use it lmao.

2 dudes on a jet ski gay. High HP trucks dont have much choice. I put 50 hp DDP injectors on mine with an edge juice and went up 2-3 mpg depending on the situation. Smoke doesnt mean its fast either. Just means ur over fueling ur motor, washing out the cylinders and u need to add alot of air. Just my .02

EH..... Cheap and easy way.... you can even get it at wall mart. Go back to the women"s section. Ask the clerk for a pair of extra large Granny panties. now go out to your truck and open the hood. put the panties on your head. take the bag they gave you and wrap it around the air filter jump in it and go. You will look just as dumb as the cloud coming out of the pipe.....
There is your smoke answer.

Mileage? Small injectors (50-70HP), Stage 2 intake, 4" exhaust with muffler, and a Smarty ran on level 1. My set up get 24-26 MPG on the hiway with the Smarty on 1, and the EJWA on 0.

I heard that the granny panties actually cause more restriction than the plastic bag
