newbie looking for help
Hi everyone im new to the performance truck world. Im used to the old school carb stuff (i have a 70 gmc and a 12 sec nova) but am not used to fule injection. What i have is a 2011 gmc sierra 1500 with the 5.3. What i want to know is what would be the best mods i could do on a budget and also keep the truck as my daily driver. Any help would be great thank you!

with 1200, you could do longtubes, exhaust, Cold air intake, and a tune that would get you around 1200 + or - some. And maybe even throw a a cam in it with respective parts to support cam. eventually do a converter and you'd be putting down some decent power by the end of all the mods.

Just get the AirRaid MIT Tube and keep your factory airbox. install a good filter and leave it at that for the intake.
Programmers....if you wanna go that route vs Custom Tune. im not sure what works best on those..
my buddy tried a bullydog on his and it wouldnt shift out of first gear. so he traded it for another one and got the same results.. haha not good.
