sterling, i know cash is limited, get a cai, i got mine off of ebay, k&n for $100 shipped to my door. a vette servo is about $50 bucks, save up for some long tubes, i personally run pacesetter long tubes, ory. you can beef up your gears as well. my friend who has everything for your drop has some 373s if youre interested as well. things will have to be done over time, like we discussed before. but after you get a decent amount of mods, or even now, a tune will really wake your truck up.

Yep I'm on the same boat as you as not tearing into the engine but do like he said^^^^.On mine i did the spectre cai from autozone,pacesetter LTs,changed my exhaust and did a tune. IMO I would wait for a tune until u did a couple things. My truck did come with the 3:73's and I like them. The tune will wake that thing up. Nice truck man. Looks like your not far from me right here in Gramercy/Convent.Oh yea HP is addicting.lol

If you want BANG for your buck in performance feel get a Converter...
http://www.circledspecialties.com/p-...converter.aspx
That one would be a good beginners converter and ask for it to be as loose as possible. I've gota 3600 hundred and it drives like stock. That will give you room for cam when your ready. If your looking to get serious later bite the bullet now and get a billet but if you just wanna play around a little a 3200 would work nicely, that and a TR220 cam would make for a nice little hotrod, with maybe a small shot of spray you'd have a 12 sec truck. if your gonna ask for anything less then 3000 don't waste your time.
A converter will make your truck feel more powerful then CAI, headers, underdrive pullies, a tune, blah, blah, blah all put together!!!

1.Tune
2.gears+detroit tru trac
3.converter+servo+cooler+shift kit
4.headers
5.small bolt ons
that should get you started
I wish i would have got a converter earlier.
Tune and Gears were the 2 mods that i felt the most from (besides the cam)
