    fairly common question, here are the common replies:
    1. Cold air intake
    2. CAI doesn't work
    3. yeas it does, the CAI manufacturer says so
    4. Bigger exhaust
    5. the cai manufacturer told you that to get you to buy their crap
    5. biGer exhaust doesn't add HP
    ...thread goes downhill after this...

    Cut a hole in the floor of your cab and Flinstone mod it. If you want more horsepower out of this setup, the cost is dependent on how much a local gym membership costs. After you buy the membership, hit the squat rack, etc and keep going until you reach the power that satisfies you. :thumbsup:

    Welcome to the forum, please disregard the silly comments, they come from a long line of postings about wanting more performance out of these trucks. Currently there is little you can do to get the kind of HP boost you are looking for. Your best bet right now is the OV Tune at around $700.

    Get a cold air intake + some cool stickers + a low profile roof rack where you can store tactical Pelican cases full of ordnance. Should push yer horsepower over the tree fiddy mark.

    Things that will make a difference:

    Forced induction
    Gearing

    Neither will be cheap.

    Everything else is money wasted.

    nitrous is the fastest and cheapest route to add HP

    Only real option for more ponies is a supercharger. Which nobody makes for the 3rd Gens yet so isn't an option.
