Default how about some bottom end!?

alright, well i've not done a lot to my truck. it's pretty much stock, except a cold air k&n fipk and nelson tune. but it still seems like i've got hardly anything at the bottom. i'm putting on an exhaust pretty soon, i'm not sure what yet, gibson bassani or mag-flo...but other than that, any suggestions for getting me off the line? thanks guys for any help...

Easiest thing to do would put a 3000 stall in it.That will get you off the line for sure and if you get a good name brand it will be very streetable.Yank,Preisicion(sp) so on.This will put you in your power band at much sooner rate and keep you in it as well between shifts.

Yep, that and/or some gears.

3:73's
Yank 3000 TT
Trans-Go shift Kit

And you will have serious traction problems on the bottom end...

I agree and exhaust probably won't help the bottom much either. Gears will help some as well.

Gears will help but will ahve much more effect on gas mileage.
The stall wont effect much of anything.A Yank 3000 stall is very streetable and you hardly notice them until you drop the hammer.The stall would do the most for you as for bang for buck.Yes the gears would help but once again its gonna have a much bigger affect on gas mileage than astall would.My vote Stall.
