I have an 01&#39; GMC sierra with a LR4 motor, full exhaust-k&n FIPK-superchip, looking for some engine mods maybe a better cam, still kind of new to these vortec motors it looks very complicating uunder there. any suggestions?

DITCH THAT SUPERCHIP AND GO WITH A NELSON TUNE FROM NELSON PERFORMANCE, ALLEN WILL SET YOU UP. HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF A LOWER REAREND GEAR? WHEN YOU SAY FULL EXHAUST DO YOU MEAN FROM THE HEADERS TO THE TAIL PIPE? WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS WITH THE TRUCK?

That looks like an interesting idea of modifications for the Sierra. Well, my uncle is also planning to do some modifications of his Sierra to increase it's performance. At first, he was having a thought of getting a superchip but having read what Jamest said, it's better to hook up a nelson tune. Anyway, I'm gonna let my uncle know about this so he could check it out. Thanks for sharing some suggestions.

Just reiterating this point. Ditch the supercrap and get a live tune. best mod period! When you say full exhaust, does that mean you have LT headers? Also, these engines are no more complex than any other motor. 3.42's will do little for you performance wise.
