    just checking in/need some help

    I am just checking in. I am new to the LS world and need some help. I have a 2003 GMC Sierra SLT Quadrasteer 4X4 with a 5.3L. I have the hypertech III power programmer and I just ordered a CAI and I am adding a flowmaster. I am looking for the stock specs on my motor and what are the cheapest and easist bolt on upgrades I can do. What LS motors can I use parts off of to save money? That kind of stuff. All help will be greatly appreciated. I will be adding photos as soon as I can. I hope to here form you guys.

    Welcome to ls1truck! Get a tune. If you want to change exhaust get some long tubes while your at it. I like my borla mufflers.

    Welcome to the site.

    Guys... There is nothing wrong with a Flow. I have had them on every truck I have owned and they are great. But Magnaflow and Borla ARE good alternatives...

    Cheap and easy for your truck:

    That's it.

    Naw, there are many parts out there. What is your version of "cheap?"
