Welcome aboard!
To start, give the search a try. There have been many many posts on basic performance parts. So keywords like "gas mileage" or "performance mods" etc etc will pull up many threads that you can find info on. Since this forum covers all similar trucks, you can just seach this forum and all the info will be relevant. Good way to dig up some good stuff!

'Better mileage' and 'better performace' are usually not mutual. You get better performance at the expense of gas mileage sadly...
or we would all be driving 1000HP and getting 1000mpg
Wouldn't that be SWEET!
As for Diesels, Here a link to a good thread in the Diesel forum regarding getting better mileage, but 13 is not atypical.
