Gauges or a tuner w/gauges , Fass or Airdog Fuel pump, intake, 4 or 5" Exhaust, turbo and injectors.

If it's all stock you're gonna want to build up your transmission or buy a new one all together. Putting upgrades on with a stock tranny will burn it out real fast.

like said before, get gauges or a cts to monitor your truck. get a better fuel filtration to save your injectors and if you have an auto, upgrade your tranny. then you can move into programmers, injectors and turbos. the stock intake is a good intake and good to around 500hp. so i would just leave that for now and spend your money else where.
