Default how to spend it?

If you had $3000 to spend on your truck what performance mods would you spend it on? If you already had a cold air, cat back, shift kit, trans cooler, electic fan, and HP tuners? Bare in mind its the truck in my sig? Let me know i want some ideas.

i woudl have to agree with those above with the 6.0, if you have the money you might as well spend it on a better plat form. you can mod the hell out of a 5.3 butthe extra cubes are irreplaceable. 5.3 with the same mods as a 6.0, the 5.3 will lose everytime

I got mine to my door for $1800 from lsdirectparts on ebay, complete long block with all accessories, intake, and harness.

Colby04 bought his from the same guy and I think he had a good experience too.
