Do a K&N filter and CIA configuration first.

But before we go there, how much $$$$$ do you want to spend?

Ya I looked at that sticky. good idea. I was thinking of cutting a hole in the fender and making a scoop. But this is less permanent

You can star low to high. just give me 3 or 4.

Thanks

You could port and polish the cylinder heads as well as polish the intake manifold,

i hope you dont mean the E3 spark plugs, bc these engines run best with plain old, el cheapo copper core chamipions, or autolites in them, dont waste your money on the fancy "special" spark plugs, even with 3 tips you dont get more spark

Have software update on the TCM and make your 45RFE trans into a 545RFE 5 speed automatic trans.

Put Champion Truck Plugs in it, and maybe some ported heads.
