Hey I have a 2006 GMC 1500 with a 5.3L. I have been looked around on the internet on how to make a little more power and found that I should do an exhaust, aftermarket air filter, a power programmer. Is there an thing else to do that doesn't cost to much.
Chris
get
some...
pacesetter long tube headers
magnaflow muffler
k-n cold air intake
and DO NOT get a programmer,,get a nelson performance tune.
i had a hypertech and it helped but not as much as a custom tune from nelson did.
welcome to ls1truck
TUNE = 1st choice
tune
pacesetter LT
OR-y pipe
Magnaflow muffler
4" CAI
3000 stall
4:10s
125-150 shot
If you want quick, easy power, skip those tuners that offer "a tune in a box/can" and go with HP Tuners
Or just get a Nelon tune and then you dont have to bother with figureing out hp tuners
so tell a guy with no experience to order HP Tuners......welcome to the site, order a mailorder tune, nelson is good and theres a few others, then grab you some bolt ons.
Exactly what I was thinkingQuote:

yea but for 500$ he wants performance now not a year from now, he'd prolly be pissed if he spent all that money got a disc and a cord :lol: i know i was and i knew what i was getting.
