On a new truck like that I would do nothing except a cold air intake and possibly an exhaust upgrade. That will help a little, after that, there is no such thing as cheap horsepower.

Welcome to the Chevrolet Forum. As Mudmaniac said, no such thing as cheap HP. CAI and exhaust really don't do much, maybe a little at 5 grand but then you probably don't spend much time there. A lot of folks like the Edge programmer. Other option is to have it custom programmed. Then you can get rid of torque mgmt.

I agree with 73shark you really will not get much from a CAI or exhaust except some cool sound. From what I have been reading the best bang for the buck is a Black Bear custom tune. Everyone that has one says that is the best upgrade they have ever done.
