But how much? Why year is your truck? There are changes in the engine depending on the year that could limit the Hp and torque you would want to think about attaining without changing some internal parts. Also if your looking for an absolute Hp monster, the you may have picked the wrong platform. It's achievable but extremely expensive to make crazy Hp / torque with a 7.3.

what are your plans for the truck? towing, street racer, pulling monster, etc? there are very different paths to go down depending on what you intend using the truck for.
Again a budget is really necessary to give us some direction also

I really want to make it as fast as I can now and turn it into a pulling truck a year or two down the road when I get a new truck. I would like to spend about $600-$800 a month.

You may want to also save your money and knock out several upgrades at one time while you are in there. There are things here and there you can onesie twosie, but overall a lot of systems need to upgraded together, and the costs of a lot of these will exceed your monthly budget.
Again this is my opinion, and you plus some others may have a different perspective.

Okay I guess I'll stick with a racer.
I like buying several things at once.
About a month ago I bought my exhaust, tip, and tuner at the same time and I emailed the place and asked them if I could package it together and get a discount. They gave me $45 off the exhaust and $95 off the tuner and gave me free shipping (everything was at my house in less than 48 hours). So I would to prefer to do more than one upgrade at a time.
