Default Whats the best mod???
Iam having trouble decided which mod to get next. within about 6 months i wil have them all but moneys tight so i can only get one for now.

Its either a Cold Air intake either VOLENT, K&N or AEM BRUTE FORCE

or a HYPERTECH POWER PROGRAMER

or a FASTMAN THROTTLE BODY

Now i would really like to wait on the throttle body untill my warrenty it up.

Let me know what you guys think because there all around the same price. And if you have any other ideas that would be great thanks.

The programmer is by far and away the only choice if you had to pick one of the three. An intake isnt going to do all that much performance wise, and the same with the throttlebody. Those are mods that are more "supporting" mods that really require other mods to truly take full benefit of them. The programmer on the other hand, will let you really get the full potential out of what you have right now. Not to mention you can customize it to fit your needs.

I'd go the programmer the whole way...

I agree, go with the programmer. I found it gave the best performance improvement as a stand alone upgrade. The tb works better in conjunction with other mods, in my opinion.

Programmer would probably be the best if your only doing one. The TB works best in conjunction with a CAI and open exhaust.

Yea the programer, if you have larger than stock tires you can also use it to re-set your speedometer!

Stripper motor sports is way over priced. I have seen them on some other forums saying they have good prices, but they really don't. If you want the programmer cheap, try http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/s...t;KW=hypertech. This site is $274 compared to stripper motor sports price of $399. Truck add ons has the cheapest hypertechs on the web and really fast shipping. Got mine from them and it worked out great.
