Default Simple Mods To Help With Dyno Tune?
I am planning on getting a dyno tune at New Era this spring. My mods are Vortec Rammer, and Borla Stingers, soon to be LTH's. Does anyone suggest any further mods to help squeeze a few extra hp? I am talking about simple bolt on mods like throttle body bypass, FAST intake, MAF sensor etc...

You can always get the throttle body ported and polished for a few extra HP, but mainly a better throttle response.
