Welcome! You can ask here but you might want to post down in the GM engine threads. If you don't have a cold air intake and exhaust, thats pretty much a standard starting point. You might even be able to find them used down in the parts classified section....

Welcome, agreed, a cai and free flowing exhaust would help, especially longtube headers, I run a cai from autozone, a spectre kit, many people stray because its not kn or volant, but in my opinion, a tube is a tube. Also check into a custom tune for your truck after u dd some more bolt on's, they and you, will benefit more from it. Personally I like Flowmasters, i have a 40 series on my truck and love it. Good Luck, Chris

Agreed on the above.... If you are just looking for a little boost in power then a basic CAI will do just fine. As far as mufflers, its personal preference, I used to run flowmasters but I prefer magnaflows now. Just remember with a tune, most of the time you have to run premium fuel after. If you don't wanna spend the money on the fuel, steer clear of a tune. Oh...there are 87 octane tunes, but they really don't give you much for you money, just FYI....
