i have a 2006 silverado crewcab with a 4.8 and is at about 120k on it.. the truck is bagged no major performance upgrades, just a magnaflow and a cold air intake.. as im very new to the performance aspect of trucks, i was wanting to know what some of you would suggest doing to the motor that would help enhance performance of the motor.. make it sound better etc etc..nothing major or extreaordinary since its my daily but any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance..
what im working with..

 

Nice *** truck. Start off with a tune and maybe a cam then go from there. Your asking the wrong people about what mods to do cuz we'll quickly make you go broke lol.

 

Pick up a used Radix 112 and have fun with it... probably the easiest to install and pretty cheap for what you actually get.

 

Used turbo or supercharger setup, injectors, and tune. Nothing like boost, and most people are happy with a 100hp for a few grand.


Then you'll get silly and build a 800hp monster once the bug gets you!

 

Depends on your budget. We can give you ideas from 1k to 30k. Figure out what you can spend first and go from there.

 

id like to keep it simple really.. a setup that can be dailied.. whats a radix 112?? and where can i pick one up at and what does it do.. ive for a long time wanted to put a cam in it.. waht are the pros and cons and what cam do you guys recommend...

 

The radix 112 is a type of supercharger. Can find good deals on them in the classifieds section. There are several turbo kits for sale there to. What are your goals for the truck? Just want the sound? Looks? Or do you wanna go fast?

 

A comp 212/218 cam would do well in that as a daily, give it a nice sound and a bit more power. I have one in my DD and love it. That, plus exhaust and a good tune and youre golden! Nice truck btw!

 

just sound and looks basically.. the cam youre talking about slammed96 any other thing you have to replace with the cam?? and whats a good tune to get...

 

with that cam.. do you have to replace springs and lifters??
