Right now, the plans are:

E-PROM EZ-TORK - link here
Turbo-Master Boost Enhancer - link here
Magnum Force Air Intake - link here
6.5L 4" Aluminized Exhaust - link here
6.5L 3" Downpipe Kit - link here
Autometer gauges: Pyrometer, A/F meter, Oil temp gauge, water temp gauge (I have a friend who gets me really good deals...)
Custom gauge pod (I like to make my own...)
Heavy-duty torque converter

If I can find it:
Trans cooler + IC for 6.5L Chevy Turbodiesel. Turbo kit. Meth + H2O or Propane injection. Other performance parts (stacks maybe???)

You can get your chip and turbomaster directly from Heath Diesel. It is cheaper from them and they are the makers of the product...

Well, I have my own shop I like to use. I'll be ordering everything through them, just that those sites show the part and it's claimed performance gain, what it is, etc. etc. I was just wondering if someone could say if the company is good, if the part is good (or will it just break the truck) and if that's all the gauges I need to monitor the engine (or do I need more? Do I not need all of those?)

Thanks to one and all for the advice. Just don't wanna break my new truck. But, a little more power would be nice, though.
