Aftermarket exhaust systems at his power level are done for sound only.
The "standard" bolt-ons for power are a 4 or 6lb lower pulley, air intake, and a custom tune, preferably a custom dyno tune.

There is a local shop that does dyno tuning with SCT tuners, what kind of intake would work best?

Don't forget now, we're talking headers.
There are three parts to a Lightning exhaust (really, just about any exhaust).
1. Headers/exhaust manifolds
2. The midpipe (where the cats are located)
3. And the cat-back
A cat-back setup (ANY cat-back) will gain you absolutely NOTHING in the performance category, but will give you EVERYTHING in the sound category!
As for your air intake, just about any open air filter will work. K&N, JLP, Chickenears, etc.
Some guys argue the under hood heat negates the benefits of getting more air to the S/C, but I've never seen any conclusive proof regarding that argument, and in fact, have seen data backing up using a system like the JLP CAI, over the stock air box.

Good luck with it.
