Here is the situation. I have a 2001 Jimmy with 4x4 and a 5 speed with 3.42 gearing. Had new tires installed today, 31,10.50, 15 Actual dimensions are just around 30 inches and under 10 wide on stock wheels. It is feeling weak on the highway in 5th and would like to gain back the response that the stock tires offered.So tommorrow i will be replacing plugs, cap, rotor,fuel filter, cleaning egr and inspecting pcv. Unit has 64000 miles. Here is the question, what would a fai, magnaflow muffler with 2.5 pipes and a Jet stage one programer produce ? Basically want to maximize the throttle response and torque so i can achieve stock like or improved performance and mileage with the tires? I realize that 3.73 gears would achieve this, but thought that these mods may achieve the same. Any input would be appreciated thanks.

CAI, free flowing exhaust, and a chip will always yeald good results. You could expect approx 20+ HP gain though the exact amount i couldnt speak to. Definately though it will be a lot more responsive with the exaust as the factory muffler is pretty restrictive.
