Default Let It Begin!!

Hi, new to site intro'd myself above. have a 03 SO 250hp 2500 Quad 4x4 auto Heavy Duty package bone stock manuf. date April of 2003. The truck is bone stock. I drive on average 200 miles a day to power plants, steel mills, chemical/refineries as part of my job. I tow the quads and trailer Probably 5K lbs, 20,000 psi water blasters -12K lbs, and Bob cat and trailer-9k lbs I tow maybe 25% of my miles.ahhhh did I mention the truck is bone stock?

The wife said I can cure my itch and start the mods: here is my starting mods let me know what you guys think.

AFE Pro dry stage 2 XD model with silencer ring MIA to hear it sing
Geno's straight pipe conversion to hear it roar
Diablo sport / puck stack combo price @ Thoroughbred diesel what a deal!!!
Autometer gauge kit (pyro, boost, tranny)
Quadzilla fuel pressure gauge
Quadzilla boost fooler

TIA, Tony

Thanks on the advice, I know I will need tranny mods if I want to run the extreme stack. That money will come this spring when I sell my Jeep. I will run on mileage tunes now and pay attention to the gauges
