Default 96' 6.5 Burb advice please....

Hello all, I have been browsing around the form for a while now and thought I would jump in to the mix. I had a 95Burb that I let go some time back the previous owner had beat up pretty bad, I missed it so I found a 96' 1500 Series. So here I am looking for direction & suggestions about my 6.5, it is time for injectors and I just ordered the 4" Diamond Eye Turbo Back exhaust. If any of you are like me you search for the best prices / product values so suggested vendors (who to stay away from) are greatly appreciated. My end game plan for this Burb is just to have a solid rig that gets reasonable mileage 24-26 if I can squeeze it out of her. Im not looking for 500hp or thinkin that acting like my **** bucket is better than yours. I just love the smell and sound of a rig better than gas.
Reliable rumble to haul my wife/kids & dogs down the road and let the ocasional puff of black smoke on a preius will keep me happy. Thanks in advance guys & gals....
