Cold air intake and chip or programmer like Superchips.

Is the exhaust a cat-back system? Are teh pipes the same diameter as the ones on your truck? You may have to saw some pipe off between the muffler and cat if the pipes are the same size. I doubt the hanger points are different.

I would also add Headers, Throttle body spacer, and a bigger throttle body.

Ugh. Why the hell would you recommend wasting money on a throttle body spacer?

Here's my .02 on Throttle Body Spacers.

Unless you have TBI ( Throttle Body Injector ) which yours does not, you have MPI ( Multi Port Injectors - one for each cylinder) a throttle body spacer does nothing for you. They can assist TBI fuel injection some by mixing the air and fuel better, but since the fuel for a MPI is injected right near the valves a Throttle Body Spacer is just an expensive piece of Aluminum.

i have to agree with turkeyhunter. unless you are modding a vechicle with TBI or has a carb., you are wasting time and money. this topic has already been covered numerous times. you can always search for a subject such as "throttle body spacer" by using the search function this forum offers.
