You're going to get better gas mileage if you put an AF1, Xcal II with custom tuning and exhaust on your truck, but you'll probably only see a small increase in gas mileage. However, you're going to pay close to $1k for all that. We're only talking about 1-2 mpg's, 30-60 miles extra per tank so that works out to about 2-5 gallons of gas (based on 15 mpg's). You'll save yourself anywhere between $6-$15 per fillup (based on $3 a gallon gas). So how long is it going to take to recoup that $1k you spent on those mods?

Everything I have done to my truck actually brought my mileage down (a lift and larger tires will have that effect), but it looks great and it sounds awesome IMO.
