Default 4.3 mods/ where to start

alright guys I just got a new dd, 02 chevy shortbed. Not looking for anything serious just a little more performance. And I need to retain my mileage? Will a cold air and power programmer make a difference?

Swap in a 5.3, it will save you more gas!! I swaped a 5.3 and I got more gas milage when it was stock than the 4.3. Go with the modds mentioned above, they work pretty good.
