Default truck needs more kick

okay, I have about 400 saved up to spend on modding the truck. So far I have exhaust, headers, hypertech, and a k&n drop-in filter. I'm thinkin an intake is the next mod. What are your opinions?

Save the money and get a converter. Or get a custom tune.

Intake would be fine. I'd try and find a good conditioned 5.3 though with that money. Maybe save just a penny or two more.

First get a cusom tune and sell you HPP3. After doing this, you will be left with about $200 saved up for a converter.
