i would say like a good programmer, but a good intake would be nice start. You can go with like an SCT programmer or a TS 6 position chip would be cool to start with

couldnt tell you right off the top of my head, you could do a price request here on the site and our sponsors will take care of you. When you post give them a day or two so they can all see it, some people get antsy and wonder why they dont answer them right away...

But i would say your looking in the 500-800 range for them but i could be wrong

Gauges... First thing you should do is add a set of gauges... Then exhaust, then intake, then a chip of some kind... Avoid programers, you cant really grow with them, there very generic and are slow to change programs...

A chip can go from stock to extream as quick as you can move your finger. You need to also look a a performance valve body for the tranny. They dont take kindly to HP programing.
