First, how many miles on truck? Get a set of gauges..Pyro, Boost, and tranny temp(if you have an auto). The intake next, exhaust, followed by a chip from Tony Wildman or Jody @ DP Tuner. Depending on miles, the best way to wake it up is with larger injectors but you'll need all that other stuff first. Good luck!

you could do a shiftkit or a valve body that would definitely help
