Default new guy from north texas

Hello, I just picked up a 2001 single cab swb w/5.3, and I am looking to do a few mods to it so any suggestions would be great, all it has right now is a functional cowl hood, flows with dumps,a 2/4 drop, a cold air, and a throttle body spacer

Do a tune, port and polished stock throttle body (its big enough already), long tube headers, a cutout, and 4.10s/locker or a stall. Thatd make for a stout street truck without getting into anything too crazy.

Also, if you do the stall, be sure and spend the money on a large tranny cooler. Forgot to mention that in my earlier post.
