The tune is the way to go. Dont buy the shorty headers, you will be dissapointed in performance. I know this because I had the edelbrock shorties on my last truck. With the tune and cat back the truck will run good. If you want better performance get the hot tune and run premium fuel. Allan says the hot tune is good for about 40 more HP. Best bargain around.

Once you do this it will run good enough until the cash situation is better and you can get the long tubes.

Oh yea, if you want performance dont complain about buying premium fuel.

going fast = money spent
