Here is a description of a vendor's system out there:
This is our regulated return system. This kit is designed to supply Stage 1 or Stage 2 Injectors, but is also beneficial to trucks with stock injectors and aggressive tuning. Fuel supply volume from the factory filter housing is increased by replacing the restrictive banjo bolts and lines with larger full flow fittings and braided steel hoses. Pressure is controlled by an auxiliary fuel pressure regulator. Fuel no longer dead-heads at the back of the cylinder head but is now circulated through the head, out to the pressure regulator and then back to the fuel tank. This system ensures that new fuel is constantly flowing to the injectors and is continually purging air from the fuel system. Included in the Stage 1 kit are Full-flow Stainless Steel fittings, Stainless Steel braided supply and return lines, Aeromotive pressure regulator (which comes with a 2 year warranty), regulator mounting kit, and our custom billet adapter to ensure a clean appearing install. We use Stainless Steel fittings because they have larger passages than steel fittings.

If you have to do injectors, do studs while you are there. You have alot to tear apart to do injectors, studs are right there. I have heard a few guys say they can be done without pulling the cab. This will keep the headgasket in place. the 03-04 trucks are the ones most prone to head gasket problems. Some last with a substantial amount of power, some blow with stock power. Play it safe.
As for tuning, Lukes' is dead on. SCT. Best you can do for a Ford.

Here is a thread where a guy did it without taking the cab off...
Replacing studs on a 6.0
I've also heard of people one for one replacing the bolts with studs with some success also. That is assuming your headbolts haven't already stretched
Studs
SCT
Injectors
Regulated fuel return
4"Exhaust
That should be good for pretty close to 450+ Corrected WHP.
My truck with JUST a Quadzilla 160 and Zoodad put down a corrected 418 WHP. Uncorrected was 376.

you can just take front core support mounts out, and loosen the back 4 so they are about to fall out and jack it up as high as possible and you should be able to get the studs in, if the gaskets are good just do it one at a time so you dont have to worry about loosing the seal, thats what i plan on doing when i stud my cummins and 7.3.

Look into DIY injectors you can either buy a complete injector of buy a kit to re build and upgrade your stock injectors. I believe they make them for 6.0's I know for sure its for 7.3's because my husband just did theses in his truck. He bought the kit to re build his and says that if he did it over again her would have just got the whole infectors. It took him a long time cant remember exactly how many hours but it was long and depending on your expereince with these trucks it can take a whole day, one guy reported taking something like 23 hours I think my husbands was around 10 hours and thats including letting the truck cool down.
I agree the SCT is a great buy for those trucks a buddy of mine have a 6" lift, 37's, intake, exhaust and the sct on his truck and is running a 13.9. And has had no problems out of it.
