Need help choosing my Performance Upgrades

I know there are alot of you out there that love to spend other's money. So here is your chance. I have never put performance upgrades on a vehicle except quads and motorcycles so I need help. I have decided to go with the Predator. I know I want that for sure. I ahve about $1k-$1200 to spend. What else should I get? Exhaust? What kind. Cat back or Turbo Back? Also which guages do I need for sure. I really like the A pillar guage pods? I have Medium Parchment interior? Anyone know part #'s etc. I would like to use Motorhaven if possible.

With the Predator get gauges for sure! Exhaust is needed as well to lower EGTs (Exhaust Gas Temps). Dieselmanor.com has a great deal on pillar gauge sets. Oh by the way, after you load the Predator, Hold on!
