Smile early 99 upgrades?

hey there guys, I finally finished my 6637 mod, I used a 90* bend aluminum pipe for air ducts. It fit great, My next question is what upgrades should I do next? I have over 180,000 miles on it and I want it to last as long as possible.

Do the in-tank and pre-pump mods along with the cackle-cure kit and SS hpx. A 4" straight pipe exaust would be good also. My truck had 176,000 on it when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago, 214,000 now.

I think the in tank mods, ss xover, as well as addressing fuel delivery made the biggest difference in idle noise. Highly recommend these

Find yourself a PMT1 or PMT2 PCM and swap it in- runs better and quieter with more power. Tranny shifts a ton better also.

it's the solid kind. I looked at the swivel but I wondered if it would leak so I stuck with the solid.

I think you'll end up paying too much on Ebay, there are a ton on the site I listed earlier. It's hunt and peck to get the PMT1 or PMT2 though as they have to pull it to get the program code.
