Default 5.3 Avalanche chip/tuning device for better mileage/performance

My dad has been looking around a bit, and is really wanting to pull a few more mpg out of his 04 Avalanche if possible. He's getting a K&N intake, possibly a cheap exhaust, but he really seems set on getting a chip, which he was told can be made to improve mileage. If anyone could help, it'd be appreciated, thanks.

Any idea what I can expect for a price range? I'd like to get some input from other 5.3 guys if it's possible, thanks for the response though.

You can have him call me if he has any questions.

We have tuned ecms for only $160 fully programmed and free updates for life on any changes he wants. He gets to always keep his stock one so he can never have downtime while sending ecms back and forth for changes or trips to the dealer.

They increase your mileage, and max out the power of the engine all in one.



Or we do have handhelds for $360 that have 3 of MY tunes in them that he can swap between and go back to stock without removing the computer.

OR if he is close/local, We can tune it in person. I only charge $75 for that.
