the intake mani stock is better then the ls2 car intake mani.
best mods would be LS1 Efans, Intake into the stock airbox, dyno or street tune, and headers. ported tb would be a free mod but wont add much, but TUNE and Stall will make the biggest difference on the truck.
catback is no gain since it comes stock with 3in piping.

you will have modify the water pump and relocate the idler that is near the throttle body, because with the lower ls2 intake manifold it will interfere

not surprising.... i would do the FAST 102 myself... not need to modify anything ... it is money through...

a tune really wakes these things up and good higher stall converter... the converter makes these things rock out of the hole

actually on the tbss the fast 102 u have to cut some of the cowl on the hood to make it fit its not like the vette for some reason otherwise i'd get one vettes get like 20whp.

A Yank PTB3600 alone not changing anything else to my setup got me 6tenths and i had about 150lbs more in the truck then before i ran without the stall
