bolt on parts for more hp?


The search button gives killer gains for little time and effort.
 
Underdrive pulleys is about the only thing that will give you any gains cheap and pretty much the only bolt on... Won't see any noticeable horse power gains from what I hear but I think they make your truck accelerate better.

The only other mods you could do that would be easy and cheaper would be rocker arms and gears.
 
ok i read on here somewhere that rocker arms out of a 5.0 would work but they would wear something out. where could i get some, and wat ratio. and what kind of gears ,in the rear end or the tranny or wwhat.

You can go to Tom Morana's website and he sells kits of rocker arms at 1.6:1 and 1.7:1 ratios and they are supposidly for the 3.0L and won't wear out like the 5.0L ones.

As for gearing it really depends on if your truck is 4x4 or 2wd, what size tires you have ect ect... Most 4x4 guys run 4.10 gears with either stock size or 31's
 
1.8:1 are the same price at 1.7:1 and have a bigger potential gain, only $400 don't know if that counts as cheap in your book. Go into the tech library tire & gear chart go up from what you have (take into account the overdrive). If you search around you might be able to find a low mile 8.8 with 4.1's in it already, gears and a stronger axle all in one.
There isn't anything cheap that will give massive gains, but everything listed here is good.
