Looking for the most power for the part. Main parts I am wanting to add on to the truck are exhaust, intake, and chip for now. As well as possibly a 4 or 6 lower pulley. About how much power am I looking to add on if I do this setup the best I can... Just looking for the best power producers of the manufacturers. I have a buddy with Bassani catback on his L and I am a fan of it, will this give me the most power? By the way, it's a 2002 and bone stock. Thanks guys.

 

a cat-back will add no power to a stock or mildly modded truck. they do make it sound nice, though.

the best hp for the $ is the filter/pulley(4 or 6)/chip combo

 

First mod I did was a JDM Silver Bullet cat back. It added nothing at the track, but is does sound very sweet

58" Traction Bars Definitly helped my 60FT time. FTVB is a cool mod too. Pullies make more power, but then you need a chip or programmer/tuner. Cold air kit is also a good first mod.

After you add all that, you will need tires

 

The exhaust might give you something. A local L owner added exhaust to his chip, filter, pulley L, and it picked up his MPH, but not much change in his et. I dont know if he lost some torque down low or what, but he picked up about 1-1.5 mph, but like I said, no noticable et difference.

 

WOO HOO

 

I added JLP's cai kit, didn't notice any gains, only made the s/c whine louder, plus does look alot better the the stock air box. next I got the diablosport predator put the 93 octane tune on it, and it dropped 3 tenths off my et. Now I am getting ready to add a pulley, FTVB, and drag radials.

 

Yea, I'm definetely looking forward to taking the virginity of the truck and modding the hell out of it. As far as the chip/programmer, I've never messed around with any of this stuff. Is it pretty straight plug and play? I mean as far as correcting everything once the pulley is put on? Or will I have to have it professionally tuned since I myself have never messed with a chip/programmer?? Also, what about swapping out the gears? I know the stock gear ratio is a pretty sound ratio for the supercharger, but what about moving up to say 3.90 or is sticking with the stock 3.73 my best bet for overall 1/4 mile. Thanks again for all the input, its greatly appreciated.
