Back in the game

Bought a 2011 silverado with a 5.3 and was wondering what upgrades I should think about doing first.....it's been a few years since I've been in the performance game

First I would reccomend doing some basic bolt ons and a tune from a sponsor. These trucks have alot of torque management from the factory and are detuned in stock form. I would modify your stock airbox with a drop in filter and a catback exhaust and then get a tune from a sponsor. I would think you could see about a 30 hp gain with that.
