'97 - Intake

Just got the intake, Exhaust is on the way. What should I do next? Guages, Tuner? Give me some ideas.

Gauges, then a good chip. Tony Wildman gets my vote.

10k, fpr shim (search them, tons of threads in the last couple of weeks on them). i would say the gauges come before the tuner, because they are needed with the tuner/chip. i hear a pyro is needed if you do the 10k and are going to be towing or really putting a load on the engine.

Skittle is righ although if you do not tow or heavy haul you can do the 10K as long as you have done the downpipe, exhaust and intake.

Look at these sights they are very informative:
