Arrow Mods for your $$!!!

I'm sure the main mods are a programmer, intake, and exhaust. But what else can u do? What are some other bolt-ons that you have used? Did they make a difference? Was it worth it? Your input would be great!!

I have no experience with the following,but have heard they make quite a bit of difference, Headers, Pulleys, and the obvious, a super charger. By the way, very nice truck! What lift do you have?

I bought the truck used. But I think it's a 6" superlift. It's whoever makes their kit with unpainted aluminum lower a-arms. I dunno.

Are you talking performance or other items also?

One other Item I like on vehicles is the vent shades on windows. I love being able to lower my windows in the summer and let the heat out.

pulleys and getting rid of the mechanical fan are the only other non-intrusive mods you can do...after that you begin to change out cams/heads and bolt on turbo/supercharger

btw, your truck looks awesome. now if only my wife were taller so I could life my truck also

If it were my truck, i would do efans and pulleys next, then headers, and then BBKs new throttle body.

After that stuff, there is little available for true simple bolt on stuff.
