First thing get guages and cold air intake. Then free up the exhaust with a turbo downpipe and get an exhaust system. I saw a hp and mileage increase by straight pipeing my exhaust. Then get a chip. Just my 2 cents. There are many great deals from the sponsors on here. Just use the Price Request thread. If you want more power get some injectors. What kinda horsepower you looking for?

Intake and exhaust are #1. Pyro, boost, and trans gauges #2. And if you wish, a chip #3. I like OBS trucks, I'm down in Norwalk, I'd love to take a look.
