'99 5.3ltr, k&n cold air intake, hedman headers, flowmaster, electronic exhaust cut-out, 4/6drop,
10-12rw on the pulley. Tune depends how far out of whack you are currently.
Since you're a '99, swap in some '00+ injectors while you're in there and get an '01+ PCM.
The really weak sauce issue with the '99s aside from the PCM, is the lame cam. Even a factory LQ9 cam is a huge upgrade. An '01 LS6 cam would be so-so too.

And if you do a 93 octane Nelson tune...um...30-35 at the motor or about 22-25 at the wheels.
For a combined total of 50 hp at the motor and about 40 at the wheels. Guys--am I close???? Feel free to offer input...
