What are the best modifications I can do to my truck for the least amount of money and most horsepower and torque?

If someone could come up with a fool proof answer to that question, they could quit their job and retire.

Actually you need to be more specific, do you want more high end power, low end power, etc......

Also need to know what engine you have. The 4.7 seems to have more gains than the stuff for the Hemi's. The Hemi's already putting out 1 hp/ci so they factory did a pretty good job on it, so you don't get the same degree of improvement on it than you would say for the 4.7. I'd say from what I've seen the most common add ons are cold air intakes, exhaust mods then chips probably in that order.

Also, make sure you get something specifically for your engine. Guys for example have oversized their exhaust just because they could and actually lost torque.

I was reading somewhere recently about an intake system by called a True Flow that gave a good bit of power down low. The system was basically a filter and replacement tube for the flexible one in the stock intake. Airraid makes a similar tube, and K&N makes a performance filter.

ha ha ha. . yea, I hear the larger the sticker the more power and for every 20 stickers you get an average of 5 hp[8D]

which reminds me I saw some @55hat in a white mustang GT yesterday that had one of those retarded red R stickers in the GT.

I just mashed the throttle and sooted him for his ignorance
