I'd regear, first and foremost, than see if you need to modify as much as you think you have too. The only deficit for your truck is if you swap back to stock sized tires, it's gonna rev really high, so not much fun on the highway.
After that, all the extra power adders will only feel better.

Ok everyone I have a 2001 1500hd so it's basically a 2500. I has a stock 6.0 with the 4l80e. I pull a 21 foot boat up a big mountain. To say the least I'm very diss appointed with the 6.0 with my stock tires. Well I'm planning to step up to 35" tires so I know performance is going to drop more. So I was thinking if I add a set of full length headers, electric fans and an ebay intake and full exhaust and a tune will it tow the way it is right now or maybe a little better? By the way I have factory 4.10 gears and already upgraded to a 140 alternator. Thanks everyone. And just as a tought I don't want a diesel
Re gear, I say 4.88s, what I went with. Gives you the option on 37s as well and is the best bang for your buck on gears imo

Ok so I'm thinking of going with the trick performance stage 2 instead of putting all the money towards intake and headers. How hard is the install? I did my own oil pump in my silverado and it was a tough but I am a decent mechanic. Will my trans hold up to the power at 7-8 psi? What hp and tq will I be at at that boost level? Thinking of sticking with the precision 72mm that comes in the kit. Will that be good for towing? Thanks
