Default new to forum from silverado SS help w/ MODS

This is my first post here. I have been lurking for awhile. Great info on this site.

This is my truck


I have a few basics
tune
yank 2600
Header and exhaust work
E Fans
Basic cai

I do not want a Boost or Cam swap. This truck gets driven in bumper to bumper traffic and 95% of all driving is city under 30mph. No bigger stalls no boost no lumpy cams. It would not be fun where it is driven. I want reliability too.
I am looking for a little more.
Would a FAST LSXRT and 1.85 rockers Give me a noticable difference or where would you guys head for mods??

Nice truck....and welcome to the site!!!! 2wd or 4wd? If 2wd definatly a differential like a trutrac or similar. HUGE difference when I did that to my truck. Just grabs and goes!

I wish I had the ability to do the swap for l92 heads 499 each is cheap for what they offer.
I need more direct replacement. I can change bolt on parts but this looks out of my ability.
