Default So it bit me again..

not having my car to play with has been kinda nice and all but I surely thought I would have found another car by now, but nope, trying to move hasn't allowed that to happen sooooo I been thinking about putting a lil more umph into my Truck, not like Flaco Umph, but a lil more go, heres my shopping list so far:

Paces setter L/Ts with AIR and crap
Volant or K&N CAI
Magnaflow Catback
Diablo Predator tuner/programmer
and maybe a FAST 102..(if i feel like shelling out that kinda cash at the time)

my truck is just you run of the mill 05 Sierra..but it's a Crew Cab..(I like the space)

Skip the Diablo Tuner. If anything, get it dynotuned after you're all said and done with it.

Get yourself intake and header-back exhaust and it completely changes the car. You'll love it all over again

You'll do all that and a stalled truck of equal size, with a custom tune, will blow your doors off.

stall, offroad LTs/ypipe, and custom tune. If you have the money for a 102 LSX/R, swap the cam instead. The intake isnt the limiting factor on a 5.3.
