05 GMC Sierra Upgrades
 
I have an 05 Sierra 1/2 ton with a 4.8L V8. I have installed flowmaster exhaust,and re-programmed the computer with a Granetellli Predator programmer. I am looking for more budget upgrades. I want to have quicker throttle response, and overall more power. I am also considering putting and electric water pump on my truck to gain some hp as well. any suggestions are greatly appreciated. What is the results if I take my MASS Sensor and remove the screen and reinstall it at the intake using a spacer? I've heard it adds some power. Wanting to get as much performanceas I can economically. Thanks for your input and suggestions. My email address is :

Look under the Chevy Silverado Forum. then look under teh Silverado FAQs (It is at the top aftr you click on the Chevy silverado forum link.) Under the subforum look for the link ULTIMATE FREE MODS. Other than that just read the silverado posts. There is more information there than in the GMC Sierra link.

DO NOT REMOVE THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR SCREEN. IT IS THERE FOF A REASON.
TO PROTECT THE SENSOR WIRES.NO PERFORMANCE GAINS.
REFER TO JB 2004 ALL MODS, WILL MAKE YOUR 4.8 TURN INTO SOMETHING
YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE. HAVE FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the best bang for the buck will be a nelson performance tune with 80% torque mangament removed. beats any hand held anyday all day.

a bbk throttle body might not give you an insane h/p and torque gains but should give a crisper/quicker throttle response..

I'd suggest an intake.
