    Tune, Intake, and exhaust. Those are the biggest increases in power for the fewest amount of money.

    Anything else I should look into as well?

    Would headers be useful or not really?

    Headers are good once you really start getting into power, but are only good for around 20hp on most engines, and not worth the time and money on installing them.

    I would do the big three first and see if I still wanted more. You'll be starting with 380hp and should be over 400 pretty easily.

    Yeah I understand.

    Absolutely first thing i'm getting is the programmer hoping when I purchase the truck already has an exhaust on it saves me money haba
