2000 SILVERADO

I don't have my truck yet but I will probably be getting it in a week or too and wanted to know if I can run these mods on my truck:

1. AEM Brute Force
2. AIRAID poweraid TB spacer
3. Jet Stage 2 chip
4. BBK 80mm throttle body
5. Grantelli mass air sensor
6. Flowmaster american thunder side exit exhuast
And not sure about the Accel ignition yet.

BTW, I know this will **** you guys off but since I don't have my truck yet, the year will be between 99-03 Silverado 1500 RC 4.8L, sorry

Pass on the mass air, Jet chip and TB.
Get a Shaners ported TB and a custom tune.
Your truck will like you better.

Get a custom tune, Z06 MAF, and just port your own TB.

Most of that stuff mentioned won't give any HP.
Toss TB spacer, Throttle body,MAF, and jet chip.
Get a Custom tune and port your own throttle body. TB spacers don't give HP(paper weights), Stock MAF is perfectly good, and jet chip won't give as much as a custom tune.

I thought the Z06 MAF was the exact same as the one we have now, but descreened, I think?

Sensors are different so it reads the air coming in better

I agree mostly to what the other guy said.

However, he forgot to add forget the spacer.

So, forget numbers 2, 3, 4, & 5. I would seriously re-consider on the Flowmaster exhaust. You didn't mention, but what are your real goals with the truck. If you just want it to be loud, then by all means, the Flowmaster will suit your needs. If you are looking for performance, go with a MagnaFlow exhaust or something with a straight thru design.

I agree, go with an intake of some sort, not too familar with the AEM, but I have heard good things, an exhaust, and a custom tune program. Then you can always re-gear, swap out torque converter, add transmission shift kit and servos, etc......

The get HP quick and cheap type products are usually more hype than anything. Do some research on what you want and be realistic with your goals. Do some searches on this site and be mindfull to watch what other members here are running on their trucks. There can be a wealth of information learned right here on this site, so just look around. And welcome to the site.

Also ditch the Flowmaster and get yourself a Magnaflow instead. Better sound and power.

What about the Accel ignition? Thanks for the replys.

Hold up, sound better? Do you have any sound clips of it because I really like the sound of the Flowmaster on my dad's truck. But I will agree that it probably does give more HP than the Flowmaster.
