What year truck, and which transmission? Manual or auto? How much power do you want to have?



Gauges first, before adding any fuel.



My truck scoots nicely.

KDP too. Take care of that before you get some more power too.

Otherwise, fill out your sig so we can better help you spend your money.

If you are willing to let go of the tall tires , that will help , you can add a little power for little or no $$$ , but you'll gain by just getting closer to stock tires , these trucks are detuned as it is then put tall tires on and now you have even less , depending on auto. or man. and need of built trans. or good clutch , once you have those taken care of then if you want put the big tires back on and then build big HPs , but until then ,timing to about 16 , fuel plate forward , star wheel , intake , exhaust .

Don't forget you still need to stop your truck with big tires too after all the power upgrades. It is very easy to smoke the factory brakes with stock sized tires after you've put the juice to the engine especally after a couple of blasts around the neighborhood.

jm mcfly they are slow stock but i put a tst#6 plate and a bhaf so far Oo. it really wakes the truck up. tha only thing the stock trans has a hard time if you smash it to the floor. i have a 3gsk kit waiting also that should help to
