I'd check out this forum.

http://z71tahoe-suburban.com/iboard/index.php?

They are strictly Z71 Tahoe and Suburbans. I've been a member there for a while but I just sold my 02 Tahoe Z71. I still frequent the site though because everyone is so helpful.

I averaged 14-15 with mixed driving and 17 on the highway. I had a K&N CAI and Corsa Sport Exhaust.

Yeah, depending on your budget....the NNBS Hoes are a lot nicer. Improved braking, better sway bars for cornering, and better lights just to name a few differences.
