    Silverado Performance and HP Parts

    Hey guys I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab 4.8 liter truck and it is completely stock. I need some help finding some performance and HP boosting parts. All input and ideas are appreciated. I don't want to spend a WHOLE LOT of money but am open to all suggestions. Thanks

    i was thinking a high flow intake and a superchip but im not sure. What would give me the best bang for my buck and then we can go from there.

    can someone give me some more information on the nelson tune, who has used one and how much horse power and overall gain did you get? where would you get this tune done? what else would be a good thing to get, my overall budget is around 1000-1200 bucks
