Simple list.
1-6637 mod. That's an intake mod that gets rid of the air box that is prone to leaking.
2-A 4" turbo back exhaust. You will need a 3" downpipe, and some modification to the firewall with a board and hammer will likely be necessary to install it.
3-A tuner from either DP Tuner, Tony Wildman or Power Hungary Performance.
4-A transgo tugger shift kit for extended life of the tranny along with an aftermarket cooler will likely be a good investment especially if you do any towing/hauling.
5-A set of gauges will likely be in order especially if you do any towing too.
This is in order of importance in my opinion. The first 2 mods will show almost no gain in power or economy. A little perhaps, but not much. What they do offer is that it sets you up for #3 on the list! That's the one that will show the most bang for the buck. But to really take advantage of #3, you really need to do #'s 1 and 2. 4 and 5 are just good things to have to help extend the life of the tranny, and monitor the EGT's, turbo boost, and tranny temp.

Put in a 3 inch downpipe for starters, remove the cat and go with 4 inch exhaust.. Then do the intake, 6637 is the filter of choise here, best place to get them is fleetfilter.com The FPR mod is cheap, costs one simple BB. Then you can put gauges in and put in a chip in or do injectors if you wish, the sky is the limit, but do the exhaust and intake first
