Fast one ton

Welcome to DF. Moving to the correct section. Depends on what you want to use the truck for. Fast as in drag racing at a track? Street racing stop light to stop light? Fast through a mud bog? Fast as in 200 mph top speed? What engine do you have? What transmission? 2 or 4wd? Auto or manual? More info is always helpful.

Simple bolt-ons will put you somewhere in the 275-300 range. The truck should feel significantly quicker.
Get yourself the four-barrel carb, a performance intake, a performance-oriented camshaft, a new air filter, and full exhaust (including headers). Definitely set yourself up with a lower gear ratio (I'm assuming it's something like 3.55s right now). I would also look into getting a limited-slip differential, and maybe a shift kit for the tranny.

Thanks for the reply, most of that was in mind but I was wondering more about the gears and the tranny, it is a "heavy duty" four speed manual would you see a difference in performance using that stock tranny but different gears? Does anyone have any gues of what gears would be better? Thanks
