I haven't owned my Burb too long, but after working out some bugs and putting in new injectors, I like it.
I've already put on a remote mount FSD cooler and newer (lighter) wheels.
Since I have a leaking rear wheel seal, I'll be replacing the seals and doing rear brakes soon. I would like to upgrade the brakes, but I don't see too many cost effective options. While I'm in the rear end, I'll be rebuilding it with a taller gear set, as I have 4.10s now.

My question is, what should I do next?
I'm considering an intercooler, dual thermostats mod, gauges, 4" exhaust w/crossover, and maybe some Bilstein shocks.
I drive the truck a good bit, but don't tow alot. I'd like to get a little more power out of it, while increasing the fuel efficiency.
Any suggestions?

I would say exhaust next, I just did mine and the power increase is
very noticable. Not to mention exhaust note has changed quite a bit. LOL
Gauges are my next Mod so I can monitor everything.

Good luck,
Greg

Yeh, I'll probably do gauges then exhaust. I'd like to see the difference the exhaust makes on the boost and EGT.

then you should take into account that you'll need to change the front diff ration also..
