Welcome to FTE

When you say fix it up are you talking about mods? if so here are the basic performance mods that are usually done

Exhaust: the stock exhaust is restrictive a 4" turbo back system will open it up and give her a nice sound.

Intake: get rid of the stock system and go with a 6637 or something of the sort

Guages: Boost trans and pyro so you can monitor what is going on with your truck

Tuner: After all the above is done then add a tuner to your truck you will be amazed at how "alive" your rig will be. I have a DP Tuner but there are others Tony wildman PHP etc. Custom tuning is the way to go, much better than any of the off the shelf tuners that you can buy,
