All depends on your budget, the stock head is poor flowing and the stock cam is junk. Basically the truck can't breathe.

I'd start with some basic stuff like a 130A alt upgrade, full exhaust (full length header), hacked air box or home-brew FIPK, bumped timing, and see how you like that. Then stick in a cam and consider a good e-fan setup. Should run far better and pick up some economy provided you can keep your foot out of it.

Parts
 
Truckperformance.com has a few parts for the beast and summitracing.com. For headers and camshaft kits go to cliffordperformance.com

Clifford offers nothing that cannot be bought elsewhere for a lot less money.

Thanks guys that has been most helpful


I believe Headers and Exaust will be first.


Also how would someone go about making their own intake kit?

If anyone has done so could they maybe post pics?

Thanks
