Default Performance beyond CAI, Exhaust, Tuner... What's next?

So my question is all mainly in the title. What comes after CAI, Exhaust, & Tuner? And I'm not talking forced induction either, hopefully some of you guys can point me in the right direction...Best bang for your buck beyond those 3 standard mods.

Best bang for your $$$ is Efans and underdrive pulleys. Releases additional power from the engine.

Efans huh? Thats about a $400 job right? What about the pulleys? Where can you find those? Thanks for the tips... & only 5 grand for the supercharger huh? I wish, I think if I were going to go that route I might get the sts turbo systems, I don't really know why i like them i just think they're pretty bad ***.

UD pulleys wont be worth the time. A custom Efan setup can be had for roughly 200, I'd go that route. Search this forum and you can find a parts list.

This thread is one of the better that I've found on UD pulleys. Some like them and some don't. Decide for yourself.

Haha that was the funniest thread I've read in awhile with blackbetty and vano fighting the whole time. Anyways I'm kinda sketched out now about the voltage dropping at idle and messing up your system. I'm in the works of putting a Carputer in my ride and (hopefully) a crazy system. I'm wondering if that would cause an issue? I'm pretty much sold on the whole e-fan install.

Do the 'Big 3' upgrade to help out the voltage drop at idle.

depends on what you do with the truck, if you haul or want more gitup-n-go get gears. What about a leveling kit? not performance but defiantly makes the truck look better. and preps it for tires if you want to go that rought down the road.

lots can be done. bigger throttle body, intake(not a CAI but the actual intake), head work, custom cam regrind or just new cams in general, gears, under drive pulleys. do all that and your truck can have some serious ***** without any kind of forced induction
