I have a black '04 standard cab/wheelbase/transmission. 100% stock and a limited budget. I'm ready to start with some basic performance upgrades what do you recomend?

SCT tune, remove cats or hi-flo, Cold air intake, and replace exhaust.
Oh welcome from NY and :needpics:
Also add your build number to the 04 list

delete the cats and install a cross-over pipe (or it will cackle and pop on deceleration)
stock muffler is large ,ugly and heavy but it is straight-through so a cat-back isn't really needed ,just makes it too loud
later go with 4.56 or 4.88 gears,new clutch with Viper car hydraulics
B&M shifter
handling : all rubber bushings should be replaced with urethane,maybe a set of Cal-Tracs if you drag race any at all and they also help coming out of corners
the hood scoop will NOT work to force air in,there is a large thread on this subject
the drop-in K&N works best,the others just make noise
