Default Mileage vs performance upgrades

I see everyone on here with all these upgrades an others asking for ways to boost hp and torque. What kinda mileage does everyone have on their truck with these upgrades? hopefully this will help some ppl find the line if they have too many miles on their motor for what they're wanting to do to it. So engine mileage vs upgrades.....let's see em

That's not bad but let me rephrase my question. How many miles do you have on the motor when you do these upgrades? How many miles on a motor is too many to chip it and bigger injectors and stuff. I'd hate to see someone with a million miles do abounch of stuff and send the rods through the oil pan
