Arrow Upgrades

I have a 95 psd with 334k on it. I want to get more performance from it, but don't know where to go next. So far I have Tymar AIS with an AFE filter and 3in DP but thats it. What should I do next thats fairly cost efficent?

That is a nice looking truck. The next thing to do would be to get a pillar pod for three gauges and put in a tranny temp gauge(can't be too careful with those E4OD's), exhaust gas temperature gauge(so you don't melt your pistons hotdogging it around) and a boost gauge so you can start to tune for performance. Then after that is done you can get a Superchips or other tuning chip. Very big difference in performance but you at least need the EGT gauge before you add a chip. The other thing you could do next would be to take out the stock exhaust and put in a 4" straight pipe out the back or at the most a see-through muffler with of course no catalytic converter either way.

Talking

Gauges are a must before Mods, Once you get the gauges the list is long. Start with Intake (Kwik Filter) Chip and exhaust, ETC
