In Addition too Intake, Exhaust and Tune you might want to consider a good synthetic all and quality oil filter. $1500 buck can go long way ore real quick, but it is a matter of what you can or want to do plus trust the installler.

Just a quick update on my original post. I finally have a few upgrades done and have tested out the H3 a few days now. I made the following upgrades:
1st - K&N Air Filter (kept my enclosed box)
2nd - Airdoc Intake
3rd - Pcmforless computer tune
I made the following observations.
The most noticeable change was the K&N when I started, but after driving the H3 for so long with the stock filter and nothing else done, seeing any type of increase in power was very noticeable. Next I installed the Airdoc. Installation was super easy with the instructions and it maked the engine look a lot better. The intake shipped fairly quickly to me in Canada and the purchase went smoothly. I would recommend Airdoc for sure. Now the increase in power wasn't as noticeable as the K&N but I could "feel" the increased air flow definately. Lastly was the PCM upgrade. It took a while to get my computer back, but well worth the wait. The service at PCMforless was excellent as well. I've only had the comp in for a few days, but with all 3 upgrades, I feel a major increase in horsepower compared to a few months ago. The sluggish feeling is gone and it has quite the push when you put the pedal down. So for any others looking to upgrade at a cheap cost, do the three upgrades for sure. I think it was around $600 all said and done, but that heavy, slow truck now moves a lot quicker. Next for me is Exhaust, but that will be after I get some real tires. Thanks to everyone who replied to my post, I appreciate your help.
