Is it his daily driver? Weekend only truck? Work truck?
Will it see the strip? Autocross?
I'm assuming he wants mild upgrades, enough to make sure no SRT 10 can challenge him, right?
That being said, a 4 or 6lb lower pulley to up the boost, a true CAI filter setup like the ones sold by Chickenears or JLP, a good dyno tune using SCT, Predator, or Sniper (depending on his choice of tuners...there are a couple good ones down in SoCal), a modified transmission valve body (Factory Tech VB, Lightning Force VB, Dante's Modular Performance VB, etc), a set of NGK TR6 plugs, and some traction bars to eliminate axle wrap/wheel hop so he won't destroy his drive shaft.
That's a sure fire recipe for fun right there!
