The best thing I have done so far is my torque converter and my custom tune. A higher stall tc really helps the 4.8l off the line and during shifts. A tune might not make your truck that much faster but the drive ability will be much improved. Better throttle response=more fun to drive. Other than that a CAI and exhaust are good bolt ons. A under drive pulley and headers are also a good choice. I can not help you with cam choice since I have no personal experience with cammed ls engines. Also Welcome to the site

nelson performance is the send in tune most people use they are really good, as for easy bolt ons intake, headers and exhaust will help wake it up i know i felt a decent difference just from intake and a new muffler

I had Justin at Blackbear Performance tune mine. Nelson Performance is also a good choice. Mine was just a mail order tune had them send me a pcm tuned to my specs.
