Default New from So Cal

Hows it going? My name is Kyle. Im from Orange County, CA. I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 4.8L with a 5spd. Came here to see what I can do with my truck. So far I only have the intake, muffler and a 4in lift. Im looking to do more engine performance stuff so any info is appreciated.

Thanks guys. I do want to do a gear swap and headers for sure. I screwed up about a year ago and blew the rearend out. Didnt even think of upgrading then. What do you suggest for gears? I dont know what stock is.

Even with the larger tires my truck is pretty quick(just not as fast as id like). I love having the 5 speed.
