Default I need more power

Hello everybody, I am new to this sector and very interested in hearing some opinions. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra RC/SB with a 4.8 auto and was beat buy a Hemi Ram. Since then I have chosen to add a 4.10 gear with a Eaton posi, a underdrive pulley, Volant intake, Superchips programer, Transgo shift kit, and a Perma Cool Cool Pack electric fan unit. I have not ran the Hemi yet (my friend) because I want to be sure I can take him. What else can I do for not a whole lot of money? Also I have been seeing alot of people talking about something like a LS1 edit?? What's that? Till nexts time, thanks everybody.

lol, dont get ls1 edit if you dont want to spend money, its 550 for the program + another 150+ for a scanner/logger program; plus a laptop if you dont have one.

How bout a higher stall Torque converter, I think yank has a division of truck TC's you should check out their site. One of the best converters on the market, I would recommend getting a 3500+, you already have the shift kit installed all you will need is a transmission cooler. Good Luck
