More Changes after the chip?

I just got my 1705. I first tuned to the HI_PERF. It was easy and took about 10 mins. For the first time I could spin the tires on my truck. (That is really not important to me but I it must have had some HP increase) I noticed a lot quicker response when I accelerated. I then changed the program to the TOW-PER. I have a 4,000lb boat and I could tell a big difference in the towing. I have yet to take mileage but I hope I am equally impressed.

Please, if there is any thing I should do to my truck now that I am not running the factory program.

Mac Air Dam intake or AFE Magnum Force intake, both will reduce EGTs. An exhaust system with downpipe will also help reduce EGTs and increase HP quite a bit (though not as much as a chip).
