Welcome to FTE Miss Taylor.

You can go down the main forum list and you will find the right year for you truck. Post in that forum and you will have all the info you will need.

Maybe a mod could move this to the OSB forum.

First lemme say, I love that body style!

There is quite abit you can do to bump up the power, but as soon as you said n/a, I thought the first step should be a turbo! (assuming you meant naturally aspirated!)

If you read around on here there is tons of great info, but you better make sure your pockets can handle it haha.

Welcome to FTE also!

A quick and somewhat easy power lift would be to put a larger exhaust system on. The stock one really holds down the HP

This all depends on how bad you want to show the BOYS up and what they are driving.
Cause you have to be a man to drive an IDI thats a rule. lol

Turbo is along with the exhaust is the biggest expense and bang for the buck, There happens to be a member that wants to sell his complete for 800 right now. It's an ats but I don't know what model it is. Now to complimint that turbo and get the most out of it you can stud the heads, and go with a custom pump, injectors and even an intercooler. If you want to stay n/a good open exhaust and intake a pyro guage and tweak the pump is pretty good gains for not nearly as much money, you won't be spanking the big boys though. lol
