First thing is get some gauges, then you can do air filter and exhaust. I wouldn't bother wioth an inteake horn. Then it would be time for fuel plate. I would do a #10 if you want to haul or pull anything.

i would probably get like 75 or 90hp injectors and get like a #100 or #10 fuel plate and make some AFC adjustments!! do you have a auto or a straight gear?

You can some what, Like with a 0 plate. Itll add you roughly 80hp (from my understanding) but i think its a waste of fuel to have a 0plate unless you sled pull or drag race. (then also my opinion, cummins injectors suck at high miles) So why not go ahead and get new ones. Have better fuel milage and power. Then get a fuel plate to allow more fuel at mid-power and some what low-end.

I'd say go with a #10 plate intake and exhaust.
