a chip will help a bunch but it all depends on how much money you want to spend.

if you get a good custom tuned chip like a wildman or swamps it will wake the truck up quite abit

Ok so chip on and been driving for a few days. WOW. But i do say a serious upgrade in the exhaust would and will be done. Along with gauges (a must anyway) to keep a eye on my stuff. good luck.
