A good set of ddp 150's will run good. And as for your build up i would look into ddp's cams they make awesome 24valve and cr cams. Look into industrial injection for a badass vp 44 as well as twins and injectors. I would get the arp 625 headstuds ect. And i would look into the stainless .093 injection lines if your gonna go all out.

I wouldnt spend the money on boreing the block unless the cylinders wall are scored or rough.

Cams=DDP's,Pistons=This can be debaitable to what you want to use the truck for. The steel pistons are extremely durable and can handle the highest loads, but also tend to be heavy and expensive, costing up to three times as much as conventional cast aluminum pistons.Diesel pistons with ceramic fiber reinforcement in the bowl rim have also been developed for high load applications.Connecting rods=stock is fine,Head =ported and polished,fire ring FIRE RING HEAD GASKET KITS, 12 AND 24 VALVE CUMMINS ENGINES - Haisley Machine 14MM XHD HEAD STUD KIT,VP44 =SO type stock,Injectors DDP 200hp,Twins=?,Lots of time...

I tkink that truck is using this intake manifold(this is on my 2002 and work well)Performance Diesel Warehouse - Products for Dodge, Ford, and Chevy Duramax. Puts the Nos were it belongs. This requires a good amount of machine work.

If you want to avoid high egt's don't go over 150's. I know a guy running a 64 and some mach 6's and it gets hot. If your going to run compounds then a set of mach 7's would be perfect. But I don't know who would work with a single and a cam as I have not been down that road yet.
