I have a 06 Silverado 1500 that Im lookin to sink some of my deployment money into. Right before I deployed I put a Flowmaster 40 series exhaust on my truck now Im lookin to get some more horsepower out of her. I want to put some headers and a K&N 77 series cold air intake on it. Im also looking at the Superchips Cortex for my truck. I want to put a good throttle body on her but I know absolutely nothing about throttle bodies. Any help there would be appreciated. Any other suggestions about types of headers that work real well or any other modificiations that yall could suggest would help alot.

 

First off thanks for your service!!! Second It looks like your off to a good start!! I'm not sure if Holley makes a throttle body for your truck but you might wan't to look into it.

 

Everytime I get a chance, I recommend Hooker Super Competition Headers. As for horsepower gains, if you really want a 'bang for your buck' upgrade, check out some cam kits. Camshaft, heads, and an entirely new valvetrain.

 

You will not accomplish any HP gains by changing the t- body. The best bang for your buck for reasonable amount of money would be a custom Black Bear Tune. Unless you want the pricier repair and make internal engine mods as stated above

 

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it. will definetly look into the cam kits. Now just gotta get home and put all these parts on my truck. God I cant wait. Thanks again yall.

 

super chargers have become a real bang for the buck item lately and most do not require internal engine mods

 

If I'm not mistaken, a super charger requires that you replace your intake manifold with one specifically made for a super charger compatibility.

 

some do but that is not an internal engine mod

 

True, though I was just stating fact.

 

thats understandable, but i think there are kits where you keep the factory intake, i need to go to summit racing and see for sure
