LOL the banana!

Ebay the HPP3 and put that money toward a custom tune. Make a home-brew intake or hack the bottom off the stock box for more flow.

After that a good set of long tube headers and stall converter will really wake the truck up.

BTW... welcome to the board!

The hypertech is good for about 1 sec off your 1/4 ... atleast it was for me and Chingy .. we ran a 16.5 and after the hypertech ran 15.5

My advice would be to sell that hyperCRAP and get a real tune ... Nelson tune is the way to go. After that maybe gear and posi, efans, pullies, there are many options...

Yep thats about it you can waste money on the stat a little later its only like 50 bucks but it helps keep her runnin cool.Oh then get some plugs theyre cheap also NGK TR55's
and if you don't like the fact that your PCV valve pushes oil into your intake manifold you can make a catch can for like 30 bucks
