Hey guys.
I've done of lot of looking around and googling. The more I read the more I can't seem to find an answer that makes sense to me because one place says good the other says not so good. So here it is:
I'm looking to get some more power out of my 97 c3500 with the 454. Questions is more related on what to stay away from and what actually works.
So about the truck. EVERYTHING ON IT, IS STOCK (Yeah I still got the stock Stereo with tape player..) except has K&N drop in air filter (stock air box) 103k miles.
So the list of things I want to do are:
Exhaust (The whole thing headers included but can't seem to find ones that don't have fitment problems (headers) in the reviews. I also know I have to match my tubing size or I will kill some of my low end)
Intake (better manifold? or CAI that actually works? I happen to like the sound of "noisy" intakes when you hit the gas..)
Cams? (I don't wanna kill my towing rather I would like to help produce more torque)
Chip (Seems like Hyperchip is the best bet, My old superchips chip won't work on this but will on the 98...)
Electric Fan setup (Summit has a few that look good are they worth it?)
Also anything else that can free up some power or help a little on MPG (not really concerned as long as I don't loose MPG).
