    should i start with a tuner to see how i whould like it ? cia? ls1 80mm tb? vette server for better shifting?
    Since your truck is a little heavy, I would do some gears first. Some 4.10's.

    Start with gears
    then cat back exhaust
    then headers and cold air intake
    then trans servo/shift kit and torque converter upgrade
    then cam with tune
    then some 243 heads
