There isn't much that people do with the V6 trucks, I mean you can but it's not as cost effective as swapping in a V8 in most cases.

If you swapped to a Silverado SS rear end it would be a little beefier and gear ratio would change to 4.10's instead of whatever you have now. Keep in mind that it may change your rear braking setup if it has disc's and your truck has drums. Extra parts will be required for the swap.

Or you can just purchase gears for your rear end and be on your way. If fuel mileage isn't a huge concern go straight to 4.10's or 4.56 gears to get the best mechanical advantage you can.

A camshaft would add power but I know nothing on V6 cams and what works and what parts you need to buy.

Injectors are not required until you need more fuel, like if you added a camshaft and the stock injectors couldn't flow enough or you adding a turbo/supercharger.

Custom tuning will be required if you do anything in regards to gear ratio swaps, camshaft swaps and that kind of stuff.

CAI is up to you, not going to really add any power.
