Default 5.3 perfomance upgrades?????

I bought a 2001 silverado 1500 Z71 last year and its been good to me so far but i am looking to get more power out of it. It has true duals with cats only but thats it. What are some mods that i could do to get make it faster and more powerful other than a supercharger or engine swap. Are there cam, intake, programmers, air intakes, or anything else that my truck would really benefit from??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Welcome to PT.net
There are so many things you can do short of forced induction. I highly suggest you read all the sticky's

I started off where you are looking at simple bolt ons, but if you hang out here long you will want forced induction or N2O soon. Its hard to resist once you get the bug.

is there any way we can have an auto email sent out to all new members with sticky information in it? It might help cut down the noob threads.

They should just make it that you must have 10 posts/30 days or something similar before you can start a thread. That would keep people from just joining and posting one thread and never coming back.
