Default $10,000 bucks! Hmm, What to do?

Well my wife and I are selling the 06 auto for a 01 six speed and were going to have about $10,000 dollars left over out of the deal. Give me some ideas on what to get performance wise. Were going to be towing a 25' steel gooseneck horse trailer with it often, so i dont think i want to do anything extreme, but i want it to tow better than my 91 (which has 404hp/880tq and tows extemely well).
and an exhaust brake is a must!

Gauges
Exhaust
Intake
Dual Disc Clutch
Airdog or FASS Fuel System

Good Single Turbo like a Phat Shaft 62 and some 100hp injectors. Pacbrake or Jacobs Exhaust Brake.

i would do a jacobs or pacbrake exhaust brake, dual dusc clutch, programmer, injectors, and if it hauls alot throw twins or a nasty single on it. thatll still leave you with money left to spend too

I don't think an Edge Juice w/Attitude would hurt, especially for the extra features it packs. Turbo timer and Alerts are very handy items.

Personally I would swap the Smarty out for an Edge Juice w/Attitude. The 5, or 6 if you unlock it, levels of power are adjustable on the fly. Plus, as I mentioned above, the Turbo timer, and Alerts are very handy. It is really easy to have a quick look at a gauge, but if you can't take your eyes of the road it will let you know if something is too hot, ot too low of pressure.

Depending on the weight of your trailor id still do a Dual Disc Clutch. If you want mechanical gauges id go with the Edge Comp.
