Default UPD, Gibson headers or HPPIII?

I recently bought my truck and I cant deside on a mod. I have dual exhaust and a k&n air filter. I want to make my truck faster but I cant deside between a UPD intake, some Gibson shorty headers or a hypertech power programer. Which do you think is the best mod for me since I practically have a stock truck? Any help will help. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

IMO you will prolly see the best 1/4 mile times from the HPP3.

however i have UPD and love it, plus the added mileage i got with it.

if you get headers don't waste yur time with shorties, they don't provide much gains. some mid or long tubes will give much better power gains.

Thanks for the help. I think ill get myself the programer. I really dont like the governed limit being 98 mph anyway. I want to spank ricers all the way to 128! <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> ricer-> <img border="0" alt="[punch]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" /> <-me

You should try a Diablo Sports Preditor. It has way more adjustability and can also scan and erase codes.

I love my Diablo. I have had it for many months and have really enjoyed the gains. I posted back what I got out of mine with only about 1.5 hours on the dyno

Do you guys know where I can find a Diablo Sport Preditor? What are some of the differences between the Diablo and the HPPIII? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
