traction. Good tires, nitto's, the f1 that comes stock with the truck is not to bad. Hancooks are a bit cheaper, but most feel the nitto's are best. Traction bars.


The most noteable mod is a pully change to a 4 pound lower pully with a belt change and a tune, cold air intake. I like the preditor diablo sport hand held tuner.It comes with a basic mod tune that will acadomate for several more pouds of boost and timing advance. The best tune would be done with a dyno tune. Some of the lightning tuners can send a premade tune to you.

with added boostand a tune the octane requirements go up to 92 and higher.

check out lightning rodder, they have a hp and mod chart.

good luck

4# lower pulley and a tune will wake the truck up

A VB valve body (essentially a shift kit) for your trans, I have a DMP VB and it's great

check out the classified section on nloc.net

Good luck and happy modding!!

What area are you in, there may be a good tuner in your area!!

There are so many performance products available for your truck it would be hard to list them all here.

The most popular ones are a tune, pulley and CAI system along with a valve body for the trans (shift kit).

I would be happy to help you and can provide most everything you can think of along with great tuning and customer service.

Give me a call when you get a chance and we will talk about your needs.

Thanks,

JJ@WMS

JLP, JDM, LFP, and DMP have some long bars that will aid in your traction on the track. a 4lb intake and a tune will wake the beast for sure..
