While I am skeptical of theactual benefits of an aftermarket intake, I would say true headers along with a catback exhaust system and a power programming of the ECM would be the first things you might want to try. They're still not going to give you a barn burner, since the 4.3 engine is just not designed internally for it. It is, after all, a small truck engine.

hypertech programmer of a jetchip module would probably be one of the better things to buy. but an intake/headers/exhaust overhaul would really help out too... a supercharger would also help out quite a bit [sm=icon_rock.gif]
