Default looking for some cheap mods

i just bought an 05 chevy 1500 with 5.3 and just wanted to see what kind of mods to do to get some extra power without spending to much money or voiding the warrenty. the truck is still stock with 6" suspenion lift with 35" tires. any advise would be helpful

To Start Off, Intake($200-250), Tb Stall($250), Pace L/t's & Exhaust($500) & Tune($300-400 FOR A GOOD ONE)....best Bang For Your Buck. $1500 ISNT BAD FOR ALL THAT. IT WILL DRAMATICALLY WAKE IT UP!! THEY WONT EVER KNOW THE TB STALL IS IN THERE, THE INTAKE WONT VOID THE WARRANTY, IM NOT SURE ABOUT THE LONGTUBES, THOUGH.....

With 35's the best mod you can do is 4.56's and a tune. Unless you already have 4.11's then go bigger
