Gathering thoughts for my first build....

Hey guys, I'm looking at doing a number of upgrades to my 06 2500 4x4, bought used, and was hoping to get some input on my final choices. My idea for this truck is a moderate performance daily driver, that being said I wont actually drive it every day because I have two trucks, one for work and one for play. My Cummins being the play one as its in nicer condition and I just flat out like it more! Heres what I've settled on so far...

-S&B air intake
-S&B intake elbow
-Fass 150gph (Titanium Series)
-Gauges (Boost, Trans Temp, Pyro) Autometer, I like the factory match
-ARP Headstuds (any specific head gasket recommended?)


What I would really appreciate some input on are
-injectors
-chip vs programmer (i know with most programmers you can have a digital gauge cluster, so not sure if that would negate the gauges)
-turbo


Currently my truck has a 4" turbo back straight pipe, air baffle has been removed, along with silencer ring, and a 2.5" leveling kit (this was all done by the previous owner, except for the cat delete that was originally on the exhaust)

The intake and elbo you don't really need, they don't add anything'
Yes for fass.
yes for head studs.
yes for gauges.
How much hp are you looking for, that would determine injector size.
I would go with a HP tuner.

I would like to have between 500-600hp.
