Performance chip?  1993 is calling and wants your tuning methods back.  Vehicles today - and for quite some time now - need to be programmed.  If you want a tune, get a proper E85 tune with HP Tuners.  Headers will get you somewhere, cat-back and CAI won't do a whole lot.

 

Or do the blower first and make a lot more power, then only go further with additional mods.  

Most blower kits come with a CAI. They have to. The stock air system cannot move enough air. If you are cramming more air in you need to get it out. As such, a new exhaust is necessary.

Unless you have the Max Towing package, you aren't even close to 11k.  Max Towing would get you 10,800.  Otherwise, you will be at either 9,200 (unless you have the crappy 3.08 gearing, then 6,200lbs).  

A lot of truth here.

 

Supercharge. if your smart add thermal management (radiator, correct? trans cooler set up, whatever else you need) & add + $1500 to your blower bill.

 

nobody admits to do it right (forced induction) is closer to $10k even with a off the shelf set up.
