Your sig says Vmax, so I take it you have a 6.0. A TSP head cam package are great deals. You can pick your heads and cam for what you want. A set of porter ls6 heads to bump up compression. Or a set of ported 317's. Then you can choose a cam, alot of ppl say 228r is a mild cam for 6.0's. I'm sure more ppl will chime in too.

Yes I have the 6.0 Sorry I should have mentioned that. Also since this is going to be a mild setup am I going to need to get a different stall converter? I don't know to much about modding street vehicles I usually do atv's or dirtbikes. thanks for anyhelp .

more than likely you will need a stall. If you go with around a 224 or 228 a 2800-3000 stall will get you going.

Do you tow alot? or is it just a DD?

I'd recommend headers aswell. You can get away with stock stall and gears, but if you really want full potential then they will be on your To-Do list.

Ya I was planning on getting the heads and cam done first then bringing the truck to a place to have em just build me an exhaust. Is getting a custom system done reccomended or should I buy a full system from Magnaflowor whomever?Or buy headers and mufflers and then bring it to a shop and let them build around them.

You can get headers with a y pipe, install them your self. Order which ever muffler you want, then have an exhaust shop finish it up. Or headers and tru duals, no y pipe.
