Get a custom tune, and oh yea, buy my cam. Seriously. Good exhaust, can't personally speak for the intake, I still need one, and definatly a good custom (read no handhelds) tune, and you should be on your way, to your new most expensive hobby

BTW welcome to the site.

First, how much performance are you looking to get out of the truck. Will you be doing many upgrades in the future?

Honestly, if I was starting from scratch, I would get a tune, converter,csm, intake, and exhaust. Not a muffler, but a full exhaust. It all works together. Oh yea, and a shift kit.
Give us some specks on your truck. what are you starting with. Gears, etc.
