A good intake system would compliment your exhaust with increased airflow in and out, and of course, under-drive pulleys will free up existing hp (12hp to 15hp) that is available right from idle. Every little bit of hp counts!

I would go with the intake. It seems that it would be easier to install than pulleys and produce the same amount of power (15 hp). I just recently installed an Air Force 1 Intake and I love it. That is THE intake to get. Just my $0.02

The first product I put on my truck was an air intake and I could tell a huge difference in the bottom end. The air intake alone did wonders to wake up my truck.

He said electric fans and an exhaust were already installed. He asked for ONE selection from his 3 choices.

V8SilverSTX- Skip the ignition. If you're going in order of performance per dollar, next in line would be the full intake. I do highly recommend the underdrive pulleys, next down the list.

Depending on the gears you are starting with, a shorter rear-end may give you more oomph than any of the aforementioned mods.

For example, if you currently have 3.31, then going to 4.10s will give you a huge increase.

But if you have 3.73, then look elsewhere.
