Ok i have a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with 277,000 miles on it and its been boggin down gettin kinda slow and im thinkin about puttin sum money in it and makin it kinda fast. I know its alot of miles but i figure its better then nothin. I just got new catalyc converters and put flowmaster exhaust on it but now what should i do? Im going to clean the injectors soon and possibly get cold air intake. Any ideas?

Yee haw!! Nothin` like noisy mufflers and an air filter to bring out the yahoos. Yep the fact that it`s got lots of miles on it and loosing compression that can`t be fixed over the counter. Better not forget the chrome rocker covers for an extra 5 hp.

I needs an overhaul dude. that is a lot of miles. I'm impressed to see that kind of mileage without it being overhauled before now. When you do the overhaul it is easy to add horsepower then since you are going to have to replace everything in it anyway buy a bigger cam and open up the heads a little so it can breath

Fuel pump.
They tend to wear out on GMs and you will loose higher end power.
I'd replace that FIRST before replacing a bunch of other parts. You may be supprised how much it helps.
And replace the fuel filter too.

A good tune up will do the trick
