    Next Modification?

    I really have no idea what I should do next to my truck performance wise.. Currently, I have a K&N CAI, Magnaflow Exhaust w/ cat delete, and a EFILive Tune. The tuner told me that it was best if I put it a Z06 Cam to help the top-end for the gear shifts, and a Trailblazer converter along with 4.10 gears. I'm not looking for anything drastic in performance, just something that it performs a little better. I've been looking at the Pacesetter long tube headers, UD Pulleys, and those vette servos that I was supposed to have bought already, haha. Easiest and Cheapest being first because I don't make a lot of money, insurance is high, and I don't have many tools/time to do major modification..

    2004 5.3L Extended Cab Sierra 150k+ Miles

    So the list for future mods so far:
    Headers
    Cam
    Stall
    Gears
    Trans Cooler
    Vette Servo
    UD Pulleys


    Possible Mods (still unsure of these)
    160* thermo
    LS2/LS6 Intake
    Shift Kit


    Any help is appreciated!

    gears and converter 1st.

    Maybe the TB Converter will stall 24-2600rpm.

    For the price you can get a nice Circle D around 2800-3000stall

    also get a BIG transcooler

    I have some people that can get me a trailblazer converter for little over $100, but I would really like to get a Circle D since I know many people with them on here. I'll update the first post with a list.

    I've heard many people use B&M transcoolers, and found some kits. Although for gears, I have no idea what brand would be best. I came across Motive Gears which has a 4.10 Ring & Pinion for $189. What would you guys recommend as far as these two go?
