Default performance from my 6.0

i have a 6.0 litre 2004 gmc sierra 3/4 ton hd that has alot of power for stock but maybe looking to add some more. not really interested in opening the motor but some bolt ons is what im lookin for. it has 4:10 gears so i dont think i need to change that. automatic by the way. any help would be appreciated. just want to waste the local ford and dodge boys!

headers, no cats, and n2o should do the trick. maybe some sort of cold air intake..

turbocharge it, you dont have to open the motor but for quick and easy ford spankings, just bolt ons and spray (100 shot should do the trick easily)
