Speed = Money
More speed you want the more money you need to spend

Get the basics first
14" filter kit with a K&N
port the tb as mentioned
Hdrs & ypipe with h/f cat(or cat delete if no etesting)
gears, need the right gears for how you use the truck. If you have 33s, get 456grs (that will cost a bit)
SCT tuner, if your thinking cam in the future, dont waste money on a Superchip or Hypertech. Hemifever has a good deal on them currently.

 

Here is the gears. http://completeoffroad.com/c-69615-g...-packages.html

Get the dissconect. If you call them for 60 more you can get rear yukon.

 

how bout injectors any thing to do in that area i got a custom ram air (forced air induction) and k&n filter so im getting plenty of air should i add more fuel if yes how so?

 

No need for new or bigger injectors. Get a can of Seafoam from the parts store and run it thru the gas tank. And +1 for RM Indy.

Personally I think Junior needs a new girlfriend...but I degress.

So you want to go "fast" in a 5,000 + lb 4wd truck with aerodynamics of a brick. I'm guessing that "fast" either means blazing down the interstate at sub light speed, or are you looking for "quickness" so you can hang with your buds and thier fast and furious imports in the quarter? Or is it you mud bog and have to turn some fat boggers through the goo?
You probably think I'm a smart a**...which is fine except you've already missed the point. Perhaps you should know that I'm already the King of doing things the hard way. And being right, but bankrupt, is nothing to brag about.

Here's my blunt answer. If true quickness or real speed is your goal, you've started off with the wrong vehicle. We'll leave out the boggers for now...although you still have the wrong truck.

Your first performance mod should be to remove your fancy ram air system from your truck, and then back your 4x4 out and bring in a 2wd shortbed regular cab truck with the same motor.
Put the ram air system on the rcsb, and the stock system on the 4x4.
You have now just increased your speed and lowered your et cosiderably, by shaving about 1000+ lbs off your vehicle. And savy shopping probably saved you a ton of money you'd have spent modding the 4by JUST TO GET TO THE POTENTIAL OF THE STOCK RCSB!!!!
Not only that, but you have something a tad lower that can be modified further, potentialy improving your e/t, and most importanty, your high speed handling and aerodynamics.

Someone at this point will no doubt point out that diesel draggers run 4x4s so they can launch thier trucks at the strip. True... but getting a gasser to 700-1000 ft lbs of torque would daunting, risky, and prohibitly (sp) expensive.
