    i just bought a 96 Sliverado, with the small 4.3. I'm looking to get a bit more hp out of it without doing a motor swap. Any suggestion on where i should start?
    As you can tell i'm pretty new to this game, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    wassup dude welcome to the site....anyways check it out

    go with a CAI..kn, aem, volant, whatever = 10-12 hp
    get a good exhuast system headers all the way back = 20-30 hp (maybeeeee)
    get a mail order tune or handheld tuner hp will vary on that

    and that would be a good start do a search on all this and you will find hundreds of threads for each one
