Just switched to a 24 valve, now what?

[Chace TX]

This is my first post. I have had three 12 valve Dodges (91, 95, and 97), but this is my first 24 valve. I just got a 2wd 2001 with a 5-speed. I am after the best possible fuel economy, (more power is a plus). What is the best RPM's for hiway mileage? What should I do first? I also noticed that this pickup has the yellow VOID stickers on the plug ports, what effect will that have on any performance mods? I just paid big bucks for a computerized pump and I am not about to void my warranty. Any suggestions are appreciated.

A 4" exhaust and a free flowing air filter like a K&N or Amsoil in the stock location or even better, a Psychotty or RE-0880 will definatley help with power, lower EGT's and improve fuel economy. None of those items will void your warrantie and are easy to install and will cost well under $1,000. Thats all i have in my truck and it FLYS and i am getting 20MPG give or take and its not even broken in yet. Ill leave fueling box suggestions to other members who have hands on expierience with them

Get the Edge EZ box- it unlocks the potential power in the 24 valve AND increases MPG thru timing changes.
No problem with 'void' stickers- there are none where the EZ plugs in.

Welcome aboard Chace. The Edge EZ or DD TTPM is about all you have to choose from because of the stickers. Bear in mind that they will give you WORSE mileage if you don't keep your foot out of it, but if you drive normally you will probably pick up 1-2 MPG and gain some power. My truck has 3. 5 gears and taller tires so it may not be a good comparison but my best mileage comes at 1600 RPM and 60 MPH.
