mpg and hp help

I have a 98 Expy 4x4 with a 5.4. I just installed a K&N Generation 2 FIPK Kit and dual exhaust with no mufflers. I love the sound!! I havent noticed any difference at all on my gas mileage. I want more horsepower but I also want better mpg. Any ideas? Im thinking of a mass air flow sensor or a tbs. I just bought the truck a few weeks ago with 60000 miles and am getting about 300 miles per tank. Is this normal? Also can I use a tornado with the K&N kit?

It seems that the general consensus on here is that the Tornado is a waste of money. One thing you might want to try is a chip for you PCM. Take a look at motorhaven.autoanything.com for chips.
There is also a link to it at the right side of the forum page.

You might want to scroll down a ways to the "computer tuning" forum and ask around in there too. I'm sure someone will have more info for you
