It all depends on what your goals are for your truck. There are so many options ex. LT Headers-ORY/CAI/Cam/Cat-back Exhaust. The first thing I would do is to get a tune! Your intake will be the least of your worries until you start turning some high RPM's with a nice sized cam.

The first step may be a nice cam and a good tune. Either that or a 6.0 and a T56, 6 speed.....

from experience (I have an RST also) the stuff that came with it, wont get you going 14s or faster, so you'll prolly end up replacing some of that stuff that came with it...

I bet I can get 14's with mine without replacing anything besides the tune...
































I am going to add my spray though

It would have to be a good tune to get the RST into the 14's. A guy in Kingfisher has one and we raced with the mods in my sig (minus 4.10's and e-fans) and I pulled him pretty good from about a 20 mph roll. He has a tune (don't know if it is a mail-order or programmer) now so I would like to race again to see what the difference is. I need to go to the track so I can see what I'm running now so I can gauge other cars better...
