Default What's Next?

I may have just put in a H.O engine but I still got that itch and I am dumbfounded for what to do next.I'm asking all of you on the forums for what could be next for my truck. If you had my truck what would you do to it next? Anything from installing HID's to doing a SAS to the fabrication of a custom forced induction setup and everything in between. Please voice your thoughts!
Thanks
Currently: 06 H.O Motor, Superchips, CAI, Magnaflow,Torsion Lift, 33's

I haven't starting working it hard yet, I'm running it easy for 500 miles than changing the oil to AMSOIL Signature series 100% Synthetic. After that I will start to give it a workout, but I can feel a good bump in power. Can't wait to open it up!

A H/O motor has forged internals (stronger), a higher compression ratio, better flowing heads, larger injectors. Makes another 30HP

Get rid of the h.o and do a 5.9 cummins turbo diesel LOL.

Lastrights - I have really thought about putting 4.56 gears in, but if I was ever going to do a SAS i figured that it would be a waste of money. That acceleration pick up would be really nice though.

Thunder - So go for a wideband with a SCT tuner, and a fastman TB or a F&B? and a 180 T-Stat would be a good idea

DakSport - I do really love the idea of a turbo but I do a little but of offroading and I'm unsure of how the turbo would do being that exposed to the elements

1986JEEP - I like your motto and I did consider putting a Cummins in there but where I live I have to do emissions so that wouldn't fly. On the otherhand I do like the idea of a SAS.
