    I'll do the deckplate mod on friday. I think I saw where chris 4x4 had respectable gains. Wish some had the dyno to prove it. Will a 4in fit or go with a 3.5?

    I'll do that and take pics/documentation. Looks easy enough.

    Crawl under your truck and grab the Transmission numbers. You should have a A340E if you do their is a way to speed up the clutch pack engaugement and add pressure. If it is the A340E PM me for the upgrade links.

    maybe you should just post up the links? that sounds like some useful information i would love to see as well

    and i heard headers will give you the most bolt on horsepower but they are kinda pricey. i would definitely get a K&N or one of those dry airfilters to go with the deckplate mod

    Sounds like turbocharging is a no go because (a) you don't want to do it, (b) it costs a lot, and (c) the turbo won't really improve your off-the-line torque due to boost lag.

    The problem is it's the only decent way of boosting HP to the extent you're looking for.

    If you just want lots of "whoompf" when you hit the gas, why not drive around in 4LO all the time? Then you'll have lots of torque. :D

    No way to gain 50HP out of a 150hp motor without forced induction of some sort. Plain and simple

    My bad. I should have read more carefully. So, no 4LO.
