Save your money on the cold air. The stock intake is fine.
Has the truck been studded? Has it had any work done to it?
IMO an EGR delete isn't the end all be all. If my EGR cooler fails I will be putting in a bulletproof setup and never worrying about it again.

Before you decide to do things to your motor, find out where it stands. You might want to go a little deeper and change oil coolers while you are doing the EGR delete. (which is ok)
As for the Air intake system, these trucks stock air filtering is great and you don't need to spend that money. Unless you are trying to go for very high Horse Power, say like 500+ hp.
ECT vs. EOT is a first step to making further decisions on which way to go.

Scangauge II is a inexpensive way to check the health of your motor. There is also an APP called Torque APP for android phones that will do the same. Also, edge Insight and there is an app coming out for iphones that are developing add ons for EGT and Fuel pressure.

Kits are all about the same. And just so you know, the 03 EGR coolers were the best made EGR coolers. They rarely fail. The major issue is the oil cooler getting plugged.
That's why you should find out where your motor stands on those temps. Heck, if your truck spread temp wise is below 10, you might not need to do anything for a while.
Although you are wanting to run tunes, you might think about ARP studs.

Keep the oem air filter. It flows way more air than you need and filters better than all the aftermarket options. Also, the intake is out the front of the header panel, so it already is a CAI.
