Default Performance upgrades -work in progress

I have a 2004 Sierra SLT ext. cab 5.3 4x4 that I have begun to upgrade for more hp/towing power and maybe some mpg gains. I started with a K&N FIPK. My plans are to put theitems belowon as well over the next few weeks as I have the extra cash. My question is what order should I install them in to get the best results sooner? Also, are these all good brands/products?



JET Performance Throttle Body Spacer

Power-Flow Mass Air Sensor by JET Performance
Flowmaster Force II Exhaust System[/align]Jet Performance Power Control Module

Thanks!!

stay away from anything made by JET, a few friends of mine and i have had nothing but problems from their products.

Throttle body spacers on anything 96 and up are a waste of money. save your cash
aftermarket MAF sensors are also a waste of money and provide no performance at all. i had to learn this the hardway.
Flowmaster: always a good choice
stay away from all programmers except for the predator. best choice is to go with a custom tune from soneone like neslon performance or blackbear performance. get it set for whatever octane you wish to use and get it with 80% torque management removed. the custom tune is by far the best bang for the buck

good luck

I never heard something bad about JET products yet. Their selection of performance chips are a good option too.
