Question What performance accesories have you added?

Hi everyone,

I am currently planning on adding an exaust, airaid, superchip, and headers (if someone will make them) to my truck. Please tell me what you have added to your truck and what kind of gains you've received from them. Also, DOES anyone make headers for the V-6?

Thanks,
Chris

The throttel body spacer I picked up at a local speed shop. the mass air flow sensor I had it custom done. I have a friend who works at a speed shop(not the one where the spacer came from) and he suggested it to me. They take M.A.F. sensors, throttel bodies, intakes, ect... and hone them out making the inner diameter larger. It cost me about $200.00 for both my sensor and throttel body, but there is a noticeable diffrence in the truck. Just to clue you in my truck is the excact same as yours except mine is a black sport. My friend also recommended a recalibration chip for the M.A.F but I have yet to find it. Hope this helps you.
