Where (in order of bang for the buck) do TB's fall?
I am planning on a filter & chip for sure, what would be next up a TB,lower pulley or a shift kit? OR???????
I am just going to drive it on the street, no racing.

After the (1)chip/filter I would do a lower (2)pully/ram air.Then I would do the(3) MAF and the throttle body at the same time.
If you wer going to do some serious racing the next stage would be (4)MT steets/power cooler/torque converter.If you do these things in the order I stated,All in all its the best bang for the buck.Just like the chip and filter are a combo the other two sets should be done in seperate stages to see what they gain.Always do things that work together.

Rich,
I have a level 10 shift kit waiting to be installed in my truck so I can't tell the results of that yet. The Throttle body was on my 00 since last august and I felt the throttle response immediatly. It is debatable whether it helped at the track, but increased the fun factor on the street.
As of last Wednesday the 00 was traded in on a 01 and the throttle body is already on. There have been some pretty positive comments on the shift kits also, but with you planning on getting a chip anyway(which will firm up your shifts) the throttle body might be the better choice although it is more expensive.

It's only an opinion but collect all your mods then get chip or you will need to have the chip reburned each time you add a new mod.
That may not be the easiest way to do it but makes the most sense to me from the posts I've read.
It also maybe best to hold off on installing mods until you have the chip some mods may have an illeffect on your truck before chip is setup for your mods.
