airaid has a nice intake, along with headers, hi flow cat, dual pipes, bigger throttle body, throttle body spacer, venom programmer. Also try performancecombos.com put in your info and I bieleve for about 1100 you can get upwards of 60 horses, more if you go through and pull items off of each sub category like exhaust ingnition(sp) all the way down the tree. Hope it helps, and tell me what you end up doing ok.

Not enough ***** for you? Mines ok, i can outrun my friends 4.3 silverado reg. cab unless i screw up. mines a 5spd club cab v6, his is auto. I don't think i'd recommend exhaust, it sounds like a ricer at around the 2k range.

Hell I outran a S10 Extreme with mine and I had my 6X12 enclosed trailer behind mine.


BTW also smoked 3 Vettes. Which were on a trailer behind a 3500 Ram.


Beat a kid with a Viper on some twisty roads. Helps when the kid had no iddea how to actually corner a car.

you think your 3.9 has no *****.. my 2.5 makes me cry
but my 150 Db air horn underhood kills
it isn't real bad though when i removed the grill of a new lexus when he didn't stop, hit me, and backed up
(his grill was caught on my hitch)

I have a 3.9 also and went down to my friends at meineke for a dual cat-back exhaust by vortex meineke also carries flowmaster mufflers but the guy there sold me on the vortex mufflers when he said that most customers preferred the sound of the vortex to the flowmaster 3 to 1. I got 16 1/2" X 3" tips on it and it looks and sounds AWESOME!!!! With tax, installation, and everything it ran me about $380. I recently bought an airaid intake from ebay for around $80 and it should arrive any day now so when I install it I will let you know how I like it. If you put on any performance parts on your truck that you like please let me know because I am still trying to decide on what else to get that doesn't kill my wallet.
