If you did it over?

Ok if you had to do it all over again what would you do? IM ready to put some major mods on my truck, I have already done the small stuff such as shift kit, exhaust, boost bypass and air box.

I respect the guys here that have been there and done that!. And that’s why I need your opinion ? Would you go with a chip, pulleys, ect or just run nitrous? Or a combo of both? if you were to start fresh?

This is a daily driver and I would be happy to just get in the high 12’s

Chip and pulley.There is no way to describe the difference.You have to feel it.The L stock is fast but chip and 4# pulley and now it is ALIVE.The best money spent so far.Enough daily drivers with chip and pulley do deem them some what safe.Anything can happen though.No guarantees.
Other things I would do is maybe 20 inch chrome replicas with dunlop 295/40/20s.Then Wet Okales seat covers.Probaly would do headlight and keypad mods.I would lower it 1/2 then put a shaker hood and wiper cowl.Next would be a killer alpine w/remote stereo and MTX box.But that is me.

Get you a chip and like a 2lb lower pulley with a nice filter kit. This can get you into the 12's with no problems....

A nice 4-way flip chip can give great options for programs...

If you're just looking for hi-12's you can do what I did...

2 lb pulley
JL Stage 2 Ram Air
JDM Flip Chip (tuned by JJ)
Line Mod Valve

That's it!!! I ran a 12.79 @ 108 MPH at full weight and a full gas tank.
