throw out your K&N , unless you going to go over 500RWH stock filter is second to none, change you exhaust straight pipe it, get sct and Spartan tunes for stock or econo stock or somthing like that. that should bring it up a litte assuming you stay out of it. lol.....

just a guy who writes tunes for these trucks and uses the sct x-cal3 for it. personally i'd recommend going to another company right now, spartan is currently unable to meet his demand in a timely manor unfortunately. heard good things about his tunes but not customer service

Gauges are strongly recommended before you throw a tuner on it, unless you already have them. Most will tell you Boost, Pyro and trans. Fuel pressure would also serve you well if you're going to run higher- HP tunes on it. Like Pete said, junk the K&N.
