I think I have the most N/A horsepower for a 96-99 Vortec truck, with stock fuel injection that I have heard of. (not trying to bragg....please chime in if otherwise) I have a throttle body spacer if you want it. You can fab up a very clean cold air intake for under $50 from a diesel shop, then just get headers, program, and full exhaust. Don't get shorty headers, they also give you shorty gains. Good luck!

I think your vehicle mods are in the direction I want to go, but would you recommend true duals for a standard compression engine? I heard you lose too much low-end torque for it to be worth it. Also, I've heard a lot about x-pipes. Is it basically another type of balance pipe like an h-pipe? Also, nice HP and torque ratings
