Hello everyone, I have a 99 k1500 suburban. I'm looking for inexpensive performance modification suggestions. I plan on doing a set of long tubes, duals with an h pipe, and a blackbear tune, but that's about all I have lined up so far. I already installed the larger stock fitment air filter as well. I was wondering what other inexpensive items I could do, and what sort of gain could be seen from them. Whenever the heads need to come off I thought about going to the thinner head gaskets, and possibly a cam. I've seen some mixed statements on whether or not 1.6 roller rockers will fit without opening the pushrod holes up. If the rockers will fit stock, I would like to go ahead and probably throw those on. I haven't owned the truck long enough to be able to tell you if there has been any interior work done on the engine(such as spider assembly or anything), but it is in a good state of repair currently with about 165k miles. The transmission was supposedly rebuilt about 30-40k miles ago. Eventually there will be an engine and 4l80 swap when this engine goes, so I don't want to put too much into this one. Just looking to improve power while still maintaining daily driver status. Looking to see what you all have to say, and what sort of power levels we're talking for each of the mod options. Thanks everyone!
