Default 2009 Chevy Silverado Performance Upgrades!!!!!!

I just picked up my new...well new to me. 2009 Chevy Silverado and I am wanting to build reliable power and DD. It has the 5.3 motor with the 6L80E and I wanna know if there are anything anyone has done that was a great upgrade, or just a waste of time. Anything I need for the transmission that will help it last, and what kind of gears would be good for that rear end. All input is greatly appreciated.

I would just start with some bolt ons depending on what performance you're looking for..
Intake ..headers ...some 4.11s or 4.56s TruTrac..3200-3600 TC ...and definitely a trucool 40k cooler to keep the tranny cool..as for the tranny ..maybe a Corvette servo ..could add a shift kit as well ...obviously a Tune
