Starting to upgrade, what order should I go in?

I'm ordering a new vp44 from MWFI along with the FASS. My question is, what should I get next to start upgrading and getting more power? Should I get gauges ( I have fuel press.) first then go with injectors, chips etc...?

I want to pull my travel trailer up a 6% at 55+ mph or so.

I'd do a pyro and boost gauge next then maybe a set of injectors. Auto or stick?

My opinion, gauges first after/during the VP install. What trans do you have auto/manual. Your EZ with a good VP and LP, Tranny should keep you 55+. I didn't catch your location or weight of the trailer but my truck will pull I-70 west of Denver at ~55-60 up the pass with 7000lb trailer in tow. If you've never driven that route you couldn't appreciate the reference. Semi's are constantly dead on the side of the road and trucks traveling 25mph.

I have a 47RE auto. On my last trip I was bogging on the hills- 35 -40 mph. I checked tranny fluid and it was full and clean and did not smell burnt. I've had the p0216 code for about 20 months now.
I have an autometer fuel press guage installed now (check my member photos). I can only get one item every six months or so. I just want to get upgrades in an order that makes sense.. thanx fellas
