Default New 4.8L Sierra reg. cab Pu???

Ok guys I am new to this forum because I am normally chatting with the LS1 guys. However I bought a new truck a week ago. I already put wheels and tires on it and today I am having the rear drop shackles installed.

What I need to know is what do y'all suggest for quick and possibly cheap HP????

Thanks in advance...

-Tracey

just off my head, a few simple boltons would make it run peppy..

intake, headers, catback, gears, stall converter...

the 1st thing i did to my truck besides lower it, was a custom cat back.

Congrats on your new truck. First things first. If you have an open diff, get rid of it and get yourself a posi. No sense in making more power if you can't get it to the ground.

I think that my truck came with the 3.73 gear as an option in it.

What sort of chip do y'all recom. I have read a lot on conflicting info in this forum about which chip/programmer is best.

Westers, there should be a couple of people that can chime in on this one. Little pricey for the new trucks though.
