What are your opinions on what is the best investment as far as noticeable performance increase vs least cost? 

thanks
 
Looks like you already have some with the exhaust, and Air intake..  Those are great starters.. 

Will be moving to your neck of the woods next year..   

May want to look at programmer, plugs, wires.. 
 
remove all the plastic from the truck (bed covers, bed liner, dash, window trim, etc),

Cut the truck in half (half the weight = better performance)

Install a 4 banger.

Mods completed.

:welcome:

Huggy summed it up btw.

You forgot one.
Smaller diameter tires. They are cheaper than changing gears but, you still get better acceleration. Oh and it's even cheaper if you have a 2wd. then you wouldn't have to do the front tires. :2:

Yeah Huggy summed it up pretty good.

I've done the wire and plug replacement on both of my parents vehicles in the last month and it helped quite a bit.
Oh, and a custom tune from PCM's for less for Dad's truck. Really woke up his 6.0L and gained 1 to 1.5 mpg.
 
Hey Hug_R_Av  what kind of plugs and wires are you talkin about replacing the stock ones with. 

Waz which ones did you put on?

Thanks guys

Most consider swapping with Taylor Thundervolt 50's and NGK Iridium plugs.. They seem to get the best results, well at least thats the concensus of the board..
