Possible move to the Denver CO are soon. I'm guessing being a mile high will have the truck gasping for air. Anything to help out? Besides a supercharger, that eying my budget. They do an emissions check also, a dyno sniffer test

Cold air intake will help. Make sure it gets cold air vs. sucking in hot engine compartment air.

Programmer and custom tune from Moe's.

Have you done exhaust yet? If not a freer flowing muffler will also help.

I live a mile high. It's not like you'll be starving for power, but you should supercharge it just to be safe :happy107:

You're right. I guess I have a hole in my pocket with this new job coming.

I have the magnaflow muffler. That's it. I now have a warped exhaust manifold, so some jba shorty headers are coming soon.

Not sure about a programmer passing a smog test.
