Search is your friend.
Check the members rides and read what some of the big dogs have. That should give you a starting point.

Re: First Mods
Got bored again so I wanted to repost this.
Got bored at work and wrote this up... look forward to corrections if needed.
Before upgrading anything you need to verify your truck is running perfectly without signs of a possible problem.
(If you don’t follow this advice you will destroy your truck it’s just a matter if time.)
You should verify your truck is running perfectly often… A truck with a small problem pushing enough power can instantly end up on jack stands.
To verify your truck is running fine you would want to scan it with TTS Data Master which will require a laptop.
You also will need to download the software below as well as buy the USB to ALDL cable below.
They give you a trial and you can buy it afterward. Here is the download link:

To connect your laptop to your truck you need a USB to ALDL cable. Here is a cheap place to buy it:

AGAIN MAKE SURE YOUR TRUCK IS RUNNING NICE BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ANYTHING!~
(This is only meant to make sure you don’t blow your engine. So many things can go wrong without any signs until it’s too late.)
All the basics for this truck need to be looked into. The best place to start to get an understanding would be here:
http://www.powertuneplus.com/syclone/howto_stock13s.shtm
READ IT ALL!~
After you get a good understanding on the basic upgrades then you can look at getting a chip for better tuning.
The best bet is a custom chip where you can change everything to fit your trucks. This is the best bang for your buck because if you upgrade anything on your truck you can correct your tuning to match.

Re: First Mods
My best advice on the subject of modding is stated over and over again on this site.
Get the truck running as close to perfect as physically possible stock before modding anything (excluding reliability mods, ic hot wire, walbro fuel pump ect).
Then go for mods. These trucks are known to knock like a DEA agent.

Second that, unless you like seeing it on jackstands and not driving it much.

Re: First Mods
i think its already been answered. to the point, there temperamental and little knowledge of what your doing with these trucks can get ya on jack stands for sure. and from what i seen in the past no you dont just bolt on and go fast.

Re: First Mods
Dude,the truck has survived for 18 years without anybody really driving it or dorking it up.
If you want it to have any value in the future,you prolly shouldn't drive it or dork it up.
Ya know?
:dunno:
There are only so many not driven not dorked trucks out there.It would be foolish to possibly destroy a diamond in the rough.
That truck "may" be worth a mint in a few years (or not)
Best to err on the side of caution,instead of potentially destroying any future collector value that it may have.
:2cents:
BTW,in 1986 anybody there coulda bought an Atlas Gold '69 Yenko Camaro at Carlisle for $6k
Nobody did. It's a 250-300k car today.
Food for thought.

Re: First Mods
Here is what I would if you are bent on doing something but want to be able to go back to stock.
Datamaster
Tuner pro for tuning
wideband
20g turbo
40 or 65# injectors
3 bar map
AFPR
Walbro 255
Hotwired Shurflo IC pump
Big trans cooler
2800 stall converter
and ALKY injection with out a doubt.
IMO, this makes for a very fun stockish truck and you arent going too far with it that you cant turn back.
