u might be able to feel it, tops 10, and fuel economy will hardly increase unless u go really easy on the gas, and usually when i put in performance parts i go harder on the gas and then milege goes down. i recomend going with the 360intakez its cheaper and the same thing, and the plastic TB hat doesnt crack and its a good upgrade for every engine

i wouldnt count on any single item giving you best MPG or performance... i'd shoot for the combos.
i dont know how it will be on your truck, but when mine was a V6, i did several mods to help both power and helped out the MPG's even more.
FIPK
aftermarket throttle body
headers
flowmaster muffler
msd 6a ignition
msd 8mm wires
msd blaster 3 coil
1.7 roller rockers
the whole msd setup probably helped the MPG's the most..
factory stock with 20K miles, i was getting about 15/20 and with a bed cover and all those mods, i was getting 20/26-27.. and that was also with getting heavy on the pedal.
now i know it wont make that big of a difference with a V8 but it will help.
on my stock 2000 Durango with a 5.2, i was getting 13 city and 18 highway. With just changing the motor oil to mobil 1 (or any synthetic), i got the mpgs up to 14 city and 20 highway.

I can pretty much echo Whitedodge's comments. I've installed them on 2 trucks in the past. Same on both.
As far as mpg goes. I never noticed even the slightest difference with either truck after the installation. The computer constantly adjusts the fuel/air ratio so even when you put in more air the puter adjusts it to a predetermined ratio so your mpg don't really vary.
