For less then 50 bucks you can get a napa 6637 air filter, and do the CCV mod. This will help the engine breath considerably. do search on, KWIK filter, or napa filter, and CCV mod.
for less then $200 you can get a new down pipe, and a chunk of 3" pipe. you will now have a full 3" straight through, great sounding exhaust, this will greatly compliment the new intake system.
after that its pretty much up to you, but I would suggest a chip of some sort 3,4,or 6 Position, with just about any program you want.
Dont forget the sonix vavle and tricumulator, for the tranny and at least a pyrometer so you dont start melting pistons with all the new found HP of the chip.
happy rodding.

The intake setup and the CCV can all be done by you. there realy easy and I doubt that a 4x4 shop would know how to do it. maybe a diesel specific shop, but i would ask first, and expect to get a few odd looks too.
I am looking for a link to the CCV mod. it basicaly take the Crank case gasses and routes them to the atmosphere. much like the big trucks and agriculteral equipment does. they are just routed into the intake to pass emitions test from the factory.
It requires removing the metal piece in the intake,replacing it with a piece of pipe, turning the CCV on the valve cover 180* and running a piece of heater hose to your desired location, some run it to the tranny crossmember, some into the exhaust, some all the way to the back of the truck. the new Down pipe can be done by you, if you have access to a plasma cutter, othersise I would have that hired out along with the exhaust.
My exhaust was the only thing I had done by someone else, just because I dont have a mandrel bender, I installed my own DP, which was all of a three hour project.

Yes, true. I ferget that I have 2, 3" pipes sometimes. but 3" does fit perfectly inside the stock exhaust when you chop the cat out, or soot trap, whatever people want to call it.

Depends what year you want to know. The 94.5-97's were 225HP at the flywheel.
I dont know the exact break down for the 99.5-03's but the last ones, with manual tranny's, were 275HP at the flywheel again, I believe.
