It's a fuel box you add to your truck and tap the wire to the injection pump.

TST is the greatest thing since sliced bread. J/K, but they do make great products. You should also read up about the smarty if you are starting to modify your truck. Be careful, once you catch the BOMBing bug, your wallet is as good as dead.

Welcome to the site BTW.

The best order would be:
4" exhaust 5" is way too big!
air box
gauges
then your choice of boxes. the Juice with Attitude gauges would be a good start.
somewhere around here you'll need a bigger clutch, SBC are the best.
then injectors if you need more power
big intercooler
bigger turbo
etc.... how big's the wallet?

great white, 5" is only really needed when exceeding 500hp, 4" will more than adequately support your planned mods.

They say 5" will actually hurt power till you get to 500 + hp.
You're best bang for the buck would be the the Juice with attitude and air box, Can get both for the grand and then improve from there. The Attitude will defuel and save your engine till you get the exhaust and better clutch.
The exhaust won't give any power but will get the EGT lower same as the air box. Injectors are good but you can't turn them on or off!

i like this setup, it would keep you from buying different stuff later on down the road.
i like a 4" exhaust myself.
i would hold off on the injectors for a little while. the TST and smarty will give you plenty of fuel for now!
the smarty TST is the best stack out there IMHO.
you need some type of secondary fuel pump.
after all this you can start saving for a turbo, like a HTT 62/14 or similar.
i would stay away from edge products if i was you.
once again i think your on the right track.

I know 5" is overkill...but I love the way mine sounds and it was cheaper than 4" when I was looking so I got it...

you'll definitely want to do the gauges and a fuel pump before the chips go on...3 days trying out an edge comp box killed my injection pump...
