my plans are a 800 HP duramax that gets over 30 MPG freeway.. should be fairly easy with this car
Be careful you don't over-oil your K&N.

Regarding aero, take a piece of rope that can be easily seen, tie it to your front bumper, up and over the highest point of your cab, and down to your back bumper over the tailgate, then snap a digi of it.

Upload the pic here, then check the angle of the string in the pic compared to the ground. I'm fairly certain your cab/tailgate angle will be sufficient to just add a frame and some sheets of coroplast for an aero-cap without too much thought invested. Might be good for a decent gain.

(Try to test it somewhat scientifically, though...)
