Where should I start?
Hey guys, I'm new here. I got a 01 silverado Z-71 5.3L automatic last year. We actually bought it wrecked for $600 and put $5,000 to get her looking pretty again. I wanna do away with the off-road suspension, it's not like i paid extra for it or anything, and make my truck a street truck. I'd like to make it a little bit faster so I can keep up with some of my friends. I have true-dual 40-series flowmasters and K&N cold air intake, that's it for performance. What would be the cheapest and best way to get some more power?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Even if you take off the Off-Road stuff keep the 4wd.. You'll be happier with it for racing purposes....
You should give everyone an idea of your goals for the truck and a budget limit otherwise your repsonses will be filled with Turbos and Radix superchargers...

Do basics
Exhaust upgrades
Intake
Computer tune
Cam
Transmission work (stall, bullet proof trans, etc)
Brakes (why go fast if you can't stop?)
Better tires (you will need this I'm sure)
last but not least force induction (radix, turbo, nitrous, etc)
