Default 97 5.9L 1500 performance upgrades

What are some performance upgrades i can do to my truck. I have a K&n cold air intake. I was thinking headers,tuner or chip, Some wires, spark plugs, anything to help wiht hp without going into the motor. If at all possible i would like specigic brands and why you chose that one. And with the headers i would like Long tube ones. Thanks

Exhaust -Magnaflow for a good sound, Flowmaster for a LOUD sound. Also go with a high flow cat, like Magnaflow
Fastman TB www.thefastman.com
Programer www.truckadons.com
Headers -I hear Gibson, JBA's are good. I dunno that much about headers though
Ignition- MSD coil's I hear are good

Thats pretty much the basics, but theres lots more you could do.

Heads, Cam, Rockers, ect.

Do it in that order , but you don't have to


I would do common maintenence first. Change your fluids, using synthetic ect. Also check for a blown plenum.

Heres a good thread too. https://dodgeforum.com/m_349385/tm.htm
