Broad question with no specs on the truck you have. Like mentioned above, start searching. There are hundreds of threads that will keep you busy

We don't know what you have vehicle wise ( engine size, reg cab, ext cab, crew cab, etc..) and if you have any mods already done.

Start with a custom tune from blackbear performance, wheatley, nelson, then maybe get some Long Tube headers after. It's not going to give you a **** ton of power, but will definitely wake the vehicle up with a custom tune. Don't go hand held tunes.

After that maybe look into a higher stalling torque converter over the stock torque converter. A converter, tune and headers will wake the truck up quite a bit depending on the vehicle in question. If you have a heavy *** vehicle with big *** tires/wheels, it will still help out but you might want to throw gears into the mix.. The next step would be a cam for the engine.
