help me please

[fr8liner]

for starters Im new to forums and posting so let me know where to be to get heard. I have an 02 burb 4x4 on 22s. what ive done: Cold air from autozone; dual high flows and flowmasters under it; superchips tuner; low budget rampant desire for speed. Other than 5.3L vortech v8 i dont know much else to provide but would like to know what else to do to get more grunt before getting a blower and cam. Its a very strong truck but power is hiding somewhere in there. Someone help me find it?

How many miles on it?

The Superchips isn't the greatest. It leaves a lot of power on the table. If you want to go forced induction, you'll need to have it properly tuned after the install.

 

Prep before the blower:

 

Low-restriction air filter/ cold air kit. K&N is the big name there.

Long tube headers and exhaust.

Then a blower, with a cam matched to the blower.

You may want to freshen up the engine before the blower install, depending on miles and condition.

Thank you patriot. She has just turned 169000 and that familiar valve chatter at startup. Slight wobble on the oil finger. Im not too anxious to crack her open yet so i want to go in the tuner direction. If superchips leaves my horsepower laying all over the table then which tuner puts it back in the engine? And as far as headers how do i pick the right ones? High flow cats and flowmasters should be fine for now or does that need to be in a pile?
