Default 4.8liter modification suggestions

Hey guys,

My buddy has a 4.8L 2003 Chevy Silverado and is looking at doing mods for more power. So far he has a catback exhaust and an intake. He was looking at doing computer tuning, but I'm skeptical on what kind of gains he'd see. What are the best bang for buck mods for the 4.8?

no, they are tuned so they work in florida and alaska, africa and indonesia.


Go nitrous. Biggest bang for the buck, and no one can argue with that.
