volant is fine for the intake, out of the exhausts listed i would go with the corsa, but i would take a look at B&B billy boat exhaust i like their sound better
as for tuning get the diablo predator handheld tuner i hear its the best of the handhelds
an intake exhaust and computer programmer will really wake up that silverado, and are you not going to mod the sierra

I saw B&B billy boat exhaust and i liked them
the really sound good
but i couldnt find one 4 my 4.8L
i will add them to the list if i found one
i found this diablo predator tuner
is it the one u r talking about ?

and if i liked it i will do the same for my sierra

i dont think so
i dont really have that kind of money
and in this hot weather i dont think they will last
maybe if they opened the drug track i will consider them

great choices on the performance mods so far... but i advise against the gibson headers or any shortey type header, they claim amazing gains but they dont deliver...if you dont have emissions testing where you are i suggest pacesetter long tube headers and and off road ypipe, but if you do have emissions testing where you are take a look at the dynatech header system - they utilize hi-flow cats in their design to keep u legal
oh and the header system or headers and ypipe will bolt up to your catback
you might also look at a higher rpm stall torque converter if you dont tow a lot, and remember - a set of gears will make a very noticeable difference
now im just throwing out ideas for performance now but you could do spark plugs and wires and install some electric fans and underdrive pulleys to free up a little extra hp and tq and then that would be about all that you could do without tearing in to the internals of the engine or adding a supercharger or turbo of nitrous with what mods you have now
oh and dont let anyone con you into buying a throttle body spacer - they produce NO gains on these motors - Gen III chevrolet v8
a cam and valve springs will help ALOT but i think i remember you saying that you didnt want to change the internals on the motor?
i hope this helps and happy modding
