one of these days i'll install a laptop in my truck and hardwire it in. I bet i could write a program that monitors all aspects of the engine....graphically. i'm not sure what HPtuners does, but i bet it wouldn't be tough.

well if you can't afford it, don't hop it up. I don't mess with my truck much, not because I don't have the money to, but because I need it to run every morning.
I won't even get a tune until i'm out of warranty.

i run redline oil...and like it, you should consider it. make sure you take care of what you have now. not letting your parts get too hot (e.g. transmission) is half the battle.

heads and cam are where real n/a power comes from. the stock manifolds are almost like shorty headers, they are good enough, but as&m or TOG headers are good...if you're willing to spend the $$
