i have a 05 chevy, crew cab LT 5.3, 33IN Nitto`s, on 20IN KMC`s. My power went to the dump`s when i put them on. I want to put a chip in my truck, but having a hard time picking witch one is best for me and give me the most for my buck.

get u a black bear performance tune or wheatley tune..don't get a "chip" or some handheld programmer for ex. hypertech..superchips
why? where do you get them done at?
Black Bear Performance, no questions asked. Dont buy any of those hand-held programmers like Superchips. They don't give the results like a professional tune will. With a Black Bear tune, you can tell them exactly what you want. They can cater a tune to whatever octane you wish to run. I chose 93oct and it was worth the extra few bucks at the pump.

A tune alone from these guys should help you alot. But if you already have a couple bolt-ons like intake/exhaust, then that will give them more room to work with. I recommend that you buy a good intake along with a good catback exhaust, and then go get a tune. Those three things should really wake up the truck. A couple good brands for intakes are K&N, AEM, and Volant. For exhaust I'd say Magnaflow, Corsa and Borla. I'm running a Flowmaster but I'd stay away from that. The others will give you more power.

Yeah I made the mistake of getting the flowmaster because i was in high school and that was the cool thing to have. But too late, already dropped the $$$. At least it sounds good though.
what kinda gears? lol, yeah the flowmaster sounds good early in the morin, but after that it dont do much for me lol
what is "exgust" :think:
gears then tune
what is "exgust" :think:
exponential disgust.

ring and pinion gears.

wut
:worship:Black Bear Performance hands down!! for tuning purposes anyways. Gearing is not my thing but i know there are a plenty of people on here willing to help with that
Gears then tune. :imo

Get 4.10 gears at least, but I would go with 4.30s or 4.56s.
