if you want to know what works best....
a supercharger!

or you could get nitrous....

out of the mods you mentioned, the chip for the computer will give you the biggest performance gain.
 






That a 4x4?

the chip would be best inthe long run, do consider headers and an exhaust. i know that summit racing has some headers for the eploders for not that bad of a price.
 






do chip, kkm and exhuast... all for well under $1k... it will be a lot faster....
 






one of these days ill get around to buying headers and a chip. god im lazy............
 






yea i heard a chip would improve mileage too. i hear that the po pos use those things

are you talking about gas MPG?

i haven't seen any of the chip companies claim to boost MPG.

even if they do, you're still paying more per gallon because they require Premium unleaded.

Actually chips worsen (is that a word?) your mileage. That is how they get their power. They tell the computer to turn up the fuel and therefore you get worse mileage.
 






update

Hey guys thanks for the advice. So far i have just worked up the $$ to start my enhancements. I am considering a cat back exhaust system by flowmaster and headers by Borla. The exhaust system is like $160 but the heders are freakin $400 and change. I love the look of them they are stainless and welded out of T-304 steel. The only problem the ad for them says it takes 4-6 hours to install them. I dont have a garage where i can work on my own so professional assistance is needed. I was wondering if there is a place where i can get these headders for cheaper and/or if there is another headder that gives good performance and look for cheaper. Any reply will be appreciated.
