What he said ^^^ TS chip with custom tunes, it will be much nicer on your tranny and wake that truck up a bit...
First off, you want to do an intake, exhaust with aftermarket 3" downpipe and gauges... Then chip it.

Yep, At the very least you want an EGT gauge to keep an eye on temps especially after chipping a truck. Trans temp will help you keep an eye on your transmission. Boost is really just for fun but can also tell you if you have any boost leaks or not.

TS chip is the base product that most every custom tuner sells...
Every tuner is different in the way they tune but the tunes basically all accomplish the same thing.
Because you have stock injectors with about 90cc worth of fuel. If you get a 140 hp tune, you will only get about 60 of those...
