How to make some HP??

[cwolley]

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.

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.

If you want quick, easy power, skip those tuners that offer "a tune in a box/can" and go with HP Tuners

[WARLOCK]

Or just get a Nelon tune and then you dont have to bother with figureing out hp tuners

[Botlfed]

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 thinking

I wasnt saying to avoid Nelson or others, I was just steering him away from hand held "programmers". I would still recommend HPT to ANYONE. We had our HPT Pro for almost a year before we went and took the class, the class just enhanced what we already learned by reading and trying stuff out.

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 i know i was and i knew what i was getting.
