    Welcome!
    Bd has some great tunes that'll adjust shifting points and you can monitor a lot of tools too.
    If you get bigger tires you can always get the hypertech speedometer calibrator. Pretty straight forward

    If you can get a S/C- go for it!

    Sean, do you happen to have the link for the "Bd" for helping shifting points you mentioned?

    Welcome from the great state of Texas. Supercharger is the mod of all mods. If you're worried about mpg then don't get to big of tires or wheels, added weight. I would also suggest 4.88 gears if you go big with either suspension lift or bigger tires. The gears will be the 2nd biggest thing performance wise. After that you got tuner chips. Stay away from cold air inductions, ours is the best for our trucks, save the money.

    Also Dirty Deeds sells a nice racing exhaust which adds 49hp if I'm not mistaken

    You guys got big balls, I'm afraid to do anything to my engine or exhaust all I did was add ons like a black nerf bar, bed cover,bed mat now I'm going to install the black badge overlays and I'm really thinking about that. I wanted to install a K N drop in air filter but talked myself out of it, why? Cause I read it lets more air in ( and that's a good thing) but it also lets in more particles
    I guess I'm a coward when it comes to changing anything when my truck is running good and it does have enough power as it sits , talk to me.
