Sell the bully dog to some other kid, don't get the trans pack or whatever.

Order a vette servo from oregonperformancetransmission.com, will increase the shift pressure in 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. Then go to Blackbearperformance.com and email Justin about a custom tune, not a handheld programmer like hypertech, jet, superchip etc. then feel the real difference.

I have the exact same truck as you, did the same mods then went to what I told you to do and will new order a handheld again

to make your truck go faster depends on how much you want to spend
in mt opinion trucks are ment to be trucks not race cars but i have some sugesstions

1. free flowing air intake tube with a good filter
2.long tube headers (not shortys)
3.free flowing true dual exhaust with an x-pipe(no flowmasters)
4. high flow cats or no cats at all
5. change your re gear ratio
6. take off your fan thats on the motor and run an eletric fan
7. a bigger throttle body

this is mostly bolt on stuff but if you wanted to tear into the motor you could
1. cam it
2. bore it out
3. new heads

if you want to go wild and blow some money you could

1. add a supercharger
2.add a turbo

what ever you do and whatr ever mods you do i strongly suggest that you get a custom tune to make everything work right together black bear has an awsome custom tune and most of them places offer free re tunes from what i hear you will be amazed what the tune can do exspecialy when tieing in all the mods together
also remeber that the more hp you go for the more your mpg will drop and the more your foots in it the less mpg as well

An LS1 or LS2, hell, even a ZR1 engine.
Larger throttle bodies
High compression pistons with adjustable cam sprockets
True dial exhaust
Turbocharger
Headers
I can keep going but it gets pretty expensive after this
