Default Some extra cash. Body lift or SCT tuner?

So after paying my bills this month i have a couple hundred left to play with. I just put a new p/s pump in this weekend (the 3.5 ft storm we had here in ct musta been to much for it to turn the 35,s) Shaft broke right off in the pump. Never seen that one. Also just put in a new hughes plenum today so shes running nice and threw on a flowmaster 40 with dual 4 inch tips out the back. So what would you do? a 3 inch body lift or the sct tuner? I cant really justify one over the other being cooler. Just wanna see what everyone enjoys more in their truck!

Tuner for sure. Looks always take a back seat to horsepower. Its a no-brainer.

Well I've got a 700hp camaro to keep me happy in that department but seeing as this is my daily it would be nice to have a little extra power. That torque management drives me crazy! Have any of you used the sct? All I read is how amazing it is but to be honest I've never really been that impressed with any handheld tuners

SCT tuner is pretty much consider the BEST tuner for these trucks. On the newer ones (2000-01) you can figger 4 or 5 horsepower..... but, 20 ft/lbs of torque from the 87 tune.... A difference you can FEEL. If you have other mods, the numbers will be even better. It's about the best bang for the buck in mods. (right up there with the Harland Sharp 1.7 roller rockers....)
