Default Upgrades

I have a few suggestions on some upgrades for you. If you still have the factory lift pump I would strongly recommend upgrading to an air dog or fass fuel system to ensure you have proper fuel pressure to your vp44 injection pump. The best box/programmer for these trucks is called Quadzilla Adrenaline which adds up to 180hp and you can custom tune your truck to whatever performance/mileage tune your looking for. If your still looking for more performance you could add a set of 100Hp injectors to really make some good power and be able to black out the road with smoke. You can buy a 2.5" lift for the front end for cheap. Or if you just want to make the truck look better instead of performance you could add a 5" Superlift for $700 and some nice tires and rims

Those are all things I am thinking of just having a hard time deciding witch ones to do and the VP went out at 45,000 and was replaced along with the loft pump

I would upgrade the transmission before throwing any power at it. Also add the lift pump as well.
