Drivetrain Parts vs Fuel economy?

Parts vs Fuel economy?
I will be returning from Iraq in a month and a half!!! With some of the extra money I made over here I am interested in putting some parts on my 07 MCS. But, I am currently in Germany and travel a lot, and gas is EXPENSIVE over there. So I want to get some parts that will give me some get up but not reduce the gas mileage. I read the more airflow the better and more effecient the engine will run. But someone at my work says its not necessarily true. I also read that bigger turbo's greatly decrease the fuel effeciency, but all that does is blow air into the engine as well. So out of the list below which should I avoid?
CAI
Exhaust
Alta ECU Chip
Alta Stealth I/C
I tried researching this a little myself but I dont have a lot of access to web pages due to the proxy filter on the internet here. Your help and clarification would be appreciated. I know there probably is a FAQ or something on this site somewhere but I cant find it with the internet blocker they have set up. Thanks!

Good question. We were discussing this on another thread recently and I went to try to find it and I couldn't find it either.
With those mods I got in the 37-38 mpg range in mostly freeway. On more mixed bag 28-31. Just keep your foot form being buried in it all the time.
Let me know if I can help in anyway further!

Thanks for the reply Adam! I should be sending you guys an order in a couple weeks with the stuff listed above. My only problem is trying to figure out how to get it shipped over to my base in Germany lol. I am trying to work something out with my dad atm. Hopefully they will let him send a big exhaust through military mail to an APO address

Good point! I can't ship it that way, but I bet a family member could. Let me know how we can help!

We offer several wheels that are in the 12-18 lb range. Combined with ditching the run-flats and you are all set!
