Chevy Silverado 1500 Performance Truck Parts

Upgrade Your Truck with Performance Parts

While modifications like lift kits, aftermarket wheels, and oversized tires can significantly improve your truck’s aesthetics, they can also negatively impact performance! The added weight and rotational mass immediately affect factors like acceleration, fuel efficiency, and stopping distance, making driving your vehicle far less enjoyable. Luckily, RealTruck carries a wide inventory of performance components to counteract these negative qualities, significantly improving driveability!

Types of Performance Parts

At RealTruck, we carry a wide variety of performance parts for your ride, ranging from cold air intakes and exhausts to heavy-duty brake pads. Check out some of our most popular categories below! 

Engine Performance Parts

Engine performance parts extract dyno-proven horsepower and torque gains from your truck’s powertrain. With more power, your truck will exhibit sporty driving characteristics, tow better, and even get better fuel mileage! As long as you can keep your foot out of the throttle, that is! Common products in this category include:

Cold Air Intake

The most popular bolt-on performance mod, utilizing high-flow air filters, oversized air boxes, and smooth, extra-wide thermoplastic intake tubes for maximum airflow into the engine. As we all know, more airflow = more power!

Performance Exhaust Systems & Components

Just as essential as cold, clean airflow into an engine is exhaust flow out! Performance-centric exhaust systems utilize large-diameter mandrel-bent tubing and high-flow mufflers to funnel exhaust gasses out of your vehicle’s engine more efficiently, allowing more airflow into the engine, and thus, more power! 

Performance Programmers & Monitors

Programmers and monitors are another popular category of performance products. These digital products require minimal labor for installation; plug the product into your truck’s OBD2 port, follow the prompts on the display, and you’re ready to go! 

Performance programmers differ from monitors in that one modifies specific parameters of your vehicle’s drivetrain–like fuel injector pulse, fuel rail pressure, and ignition timing–to boost performance while the other only allows you to monitor these parameters. Programmers produce dyno-proven horsepower and torque gains and improve fuel efficiency, especially among diesel engines. 

As a bonus, programmers and monitors are easy to uninstall and restore to factory settings when it’s time to sell. 

Brake Performance Parts

When you think of performance, you’re likely picturing modifications that improve acceleration and fuel efficiency, but what about braking? Your pickup’s brakes are one of the most vital systems; however, these components are often overlooked in discussions of performance. 

Break the cycle and boost your ride’s braking power with premium brake rotors, lines, and pads from RealTruck! Upgrading your ride’s brakes directly impacts stopping power, stopping distance, heat dissipation, and overall brake performance. In an emergency situation or sudden maneuver, adequately-performing brakes can be the difference between avoiding or getting into an accident.
