ok i new here. i just bought a 05 2wd reg. cab. w\ 3.73 ive just put a magnaflow catback and im about to get a fipk i just wanna know what yall reccomend i do. i dont have the money for a blower yet but just wanna know some tips to get some good h.p. thanx

 

Get a custom tune, stay away from handhelds! That would be a good start.

 

I agree get a custom tune, that is what I'm getting ready to do

 

cam and torque converter
oh and welcome to the site

 

i prefer the handhelds actually cuz its cheaper, and i saw a big improvement with my hpp3. plus dont u have to keep retuning when u get new **** with the custom?

 

no. but for optimum performance....

unfortunetly, with a basic hand held you don't have that option in the first place.

 

Really? I saw no improvement with the hpp3 other than adjusting for gears and tire size. I have barely begun tuning with hptuners and I have already made HUGE strides over the hpp3. It does cost more, but you get what you pay for. AND I'm not locked in to 1 vehicle with hptuners either!!!

 

Send me your electric fans & radiator...that should be worth 15 ponies right there.

Seriously though, get a nelson tune....I plan on getting a tune & a custom fan harness after I get those fans & radiator from you.

 

thanx guys..ok i have ordered the k&n peice and a friend of mine has a mass air off an f-body i think he said its an 80mm and hes not using it can i get some hp from this or will it not fit my truck..thanx again for the help and were can i learn more on this nelson tune?

 

do a search. there is tons of info on it. trust me!! it is going to be a lot of $$$$ because your truck is so new. you might just want to get hptuner im sure it will be around the same price. i gess it depends on haw far you want to go with your truck.

if i thought i could learn to tune good i would defently get hptuners but i dont think i can. so i trust nelson with my tuning.
