Talking Got the truck on the road!!

Finally got around to getting some goodies for the truck and putting it on the road. (it has been sitting for a month) I bought some 20' wheels and tires for it, also got a 6.0 intercooler for a $100 from the guy who sold me the rims Now the real build begins, guages, valve body, T/C intake exhaust and when all that is done I will get a chip. I have absolutely no discipline to get the chip first...I will fry the trans before a week is over.

I will be looking to upgrade the turbo before the chip also. Should I buy an aftermarket unit or upgrade the stock one, I have no plans for bigger injectors in the near future? I am not on a limited budget, but I do spend my money wisely. Anyway her is a picture of the new truck. What do you think?

I am looking for the AFE stage 2 p/g7 and an MBRP 4' cool duals kit. I have found great deals on ebay but would like to see what the site sponsors could do on a close deal. I saw the intake for mid $4s free shipping and exaust was high $7s with tips, free shipping. I havent made up my mind on guages yet. I like the look of the autometer guages in the pilar pod but I also like the idea of a monitor. I want something that can be run with a DP chip ( I have no interest in any other chip or programmer) to read and clear codes. Also I already have the trans temp guage in the cluster... is this a good guage or should I still go with an aftermarket guage?
