You should get an air intake and a Hypertech or Superchips next. Those two things would make a big difference especially since you allready have the exhaust part of your truck done. A lot of people have a UPD intake, which is a sponser on this board, and they are having good results with it. You can also do some of the free mods too. Kent.

well on the free mods if you go to

www.installuniversity.com

they'll tell you step by step on what to do.

as of intake i would stick with k&n fipk. on the headers make sure you get a y-pipe. i also have edlebrock headers/y-pipe and i noticed quit a bit of gain with them. however some are complaining that they don't help that much. so just make sure the headers come with the y-pipe. also make sure you get 3" piping all the way back from the y-pipe. just throwing in my two cents.....

the headers are just the shorties, and they bolt onto the stock pipe, but in the near future im going to get a y-pipe for it or just duel it out.
thanks..zach

Dutch 99 Chevy... I am just about 15 min away from the Woodlands, maybe sometime we can meet up and do some minor mods or just talk bout our trucks. Do you ever goto the carshow across from the Woodlands mall right past the bowling alley?? Its pretty awesome now, about 100 cars every Saturday night.
