First great info located on this board. Now for the questions. I have a 09 Silverado Ext Cab 2x4 with 5.3 flex fuel. Mods so far are k&n drop in filter and flowmaster Super 44 3in in and dual 2.5in outs to the back. Ordered the vette servo and shift kit is next. After that what is my next piority? I was thinking lt headers or 2/4 drop. In the future (upon returning from a deployment to afgan) whipple charger, cam and tune so I dont want to spend 300+ on a CAI if I'll just take it off when the whipple goes on. Truck is used as a daily driver but you can never get enough HP. What do you guys think?

Really depends on what you want the truck for purpose wise. A tune will definitely wake these new trucks up, the factory tunes are junk. Plenty of good reading on the site. Can give you lots of ideas and spending a ton of money.

Its good to hear people still support us military even if the brightest people aren't in charge. I have been reading up and I think tranny shift kit and LT headers then tune will be my next step. One thing I haven't been able to find are step by step write ups for things like shift kits or cam swaps. Am I not looking in the right places or are there even any?
