Good aftermarket pusher pump and a edge cts or comp would be good along with gauges if you do comp. If an auto upgrade torque converter and valve body or clutch in a manual if its stock.

i agree, something like a rapter 100 or 150 if you dont plan to go really big. in that case, something like a airdog of fass. for tuner i would go straight to the edge with attitude because you get really good fuel mileage and great power. since you got the exhaust already, i would then get an intake and some gauges.

IMO on the pump it all depends on what you are planning to do to as far as mods. If leaving it stock or a small chip a Fass ddrp would do you alright. BUT if you plan to do more than I mentioned ^ than airdog 150 or equalinvent Fass. I have the airdog 150. I paid 600 after shipping and taxes. Sometimes you can luck up and find a good used one.

i have heard alot of good thinks about afe but not sure about k&n. you also might want to look at the rapter lift pumps. the 100 is around $300 and the 150 around $400 but it all depends on how much power you want to make.

go with an air dog 100-150 then for air filter get a RBHAF got one on my truck and they cost about 60$ way better than the name brands and more air... banks k&n is just a name mostly... look it up online you'll see what the RBHAF is all about!!
