Poor performance (power,speed)

I realize that I didn't buy a corvette but my truck seems to be lacking power and speed.
I'm getting a 3" with 33s and was looking to add some higher performense to my truck so it doesn't become a slow terd. Any suggestions on what kind of modification to make? (A better exhaust for example)
The most I would be willing to spend on this type of part is around $800

Any suggestions would help

 

Re gear
Urd maf calibrator (gotta put ur big boy drawers on and cut into the harness) or buy the PNP kit from user "nut" aka Patrick.
Maybe a straight through type of muffler like magnaflow.
No chambered mufflers like chokemaster.
U may see a benefit of an intake... Beware the haters despite dyno proof... And I've been told throttle response is not a valid term to use, so I don't know what to say about that.
When u hit the gas, it seems to wanna pull quicker, but its prolly in my head.
Eventually u may wanna throw a supercharger on it.

 

Check out the N/A thread in my sig. It will also give you some data to ponder over.

 

I installed a new aftermarket air filter (microfiber non-oil, heard that it's better). I also installed a small turbocharger inside the air intake hose. I have to say that it improved some power and only cost me around $50.

 

Wut.

 

27 inch tires would help.

 

Lol the turbo guy is pulling 1200 horsepower 2400 pound feet of torque and he smokes the ricer cars with no issues

 

Visit your favorite dealer
Ask for TRD Cold Air Intake & TRD CAT Back Exhaust.
All were installed in minutes without voiding warranty.
Look up Hellix Throttle Body Extension, found mine at local car parts stor with the letter O infront.
Easy to install and adds considerable power, without destroying your mpg.
Set up came recommended by a 4x4 owner.
Trust me, you'll notice the difference.
Best money I ever spent on an already nice ride.

Now if they would only figure out better Door Lock Actuators!
