intake, approx 250, BB tune, approx 300, exhaust 150-300 depending on where you get it installed, those are the most cost effective. BB tune alone is great, but that grin will be even bigger if you do an intake and exhaust before the tune. These are the cheapest mods I can think of. Dont fall for the "tornado" or "preformance chip" crap you see on egay.

From what I have been researching a 5.3/6.0 swap can be done relatively quickly & easily. The price could be less than $1,000 IF you get the engine used and do all the work yourself and if your lucky. But if your planning on getting the motor new forget about it being any less than 2 grand. If you want more info on the swap I can give you a link to another thread about it.
As for mpgs intake, bb tune, and electric radiator fans will help that.

What's wrong with shorties? I like mine. yeah I know the LT's are better but, the shorties are definitely better than stock and they bolt right up.

Some shorties actually reduce performance. I wouldn't bother with anything but long tubes as well.

no shorties could be worse than a stock manifold. Well unless I made them in my garage out of PVC tubing and bubble gum, oh yeah and lots of duct tape. Duct tape add a nice performance look and a great shine.
