Default NEW 4.8 RCSB mods

whats up guys , before I say anything , im new to this forum and and this site has everything I need to know , I appreciate that alot . IM only 17 right now , been working part time and still attending high school so these mods may not be alot but to me they are so here you guys go ! thanks.

I recently installed a CAI intake from dpt motorsports for 60$ , not really into spending 300$ on an intake that probably only gain 4-6 hp if anything. also did a fresh tune up with royal purple everything including filter , with msd street wires and ac delco iridium spark plugs , also installed a slp 160 t-stat , also did my e-fan conversion on my truck , new exhaust setup , and bought some stainless steel shorties ( DIY Install today ) , I wish I could afford some doug thorleys right now but thats going to have to wait , now Im just going to reflash my pcm with marti racing and see what it does , NOT Really mods at all but to me little by little everything will start coming along . thanks guys for reading

Return the shorties! Not worth their weight in scrap.

Sweet! Sounds like you are enjoying it! I remember toying around with my high school ride!

Throw a converter and gears in it next!

I wasted money on the shorties, then sold them and spent half the money on long tubes. What a difference! And listen to Alvin, he has done multiple tunes on my ride

Try to get your money back on the shorties. Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about getting long tubes.

Stall converter, vette servo, exhaust cut out, and tune are going to be your best bang for the buck mods.
