06 Chevy upgrade help...

[Twiztedmods]

I have a 2006 4x4 Chevy Silverado extended cab, short bed. It has the 5.3L and an automatic. Anyway I want to do some performance upgrades. I have $700.00 to spend, what should I do..? Thanks

Custom tune and exhaust hands down, intake to if you can squeeze it in there or window tint

[Twiztedmods]

Im sure window tint will increase horsepower by about 20%... Anyone know of any shops who do custom tunes in San Diego? Thanks

with the money left after a tune and exhaust(not much) i was trying to think of what you could get smart ass

[Twiztedmods]

Sorry I thought you were being the smart ass...

[gwhunter350]

nope not at all

I would say a cable tune from Blackbear Tuning and exhaust...maybe shackles for the back.

shackels? its a 06 4x4 the rear already sits higher than the front

Drop Shackles:cool:

He wants performance...When you are lower to the ground you reduce drag which in turn increases performance??

Anything else?

[gwhunter350]

seen how its a 4x4 and its not getting s/c cammed and fully built, lowering the rear isnt going to do anything performance wise

Reduced body roll, better weight transfer, etc.

It was just a suggestion...take it for what its worth and move on.

How bad is a cam change on these trucks? Is it like a traditional SBC? So a tune would be the best bang for the buck... Thanks

Its really easy to change a cam. But when you buy a cam and springs and tune you will have killed your budget.

Get a custom tune and either long tube headers or a looser torque converter.
