My Truck's Almost Done!!

Well, after almost 6 months of hard work, my trucks almost ready to roll!! Got a "fresh" engine /w 44k on a rebuild, headers, port/polish/portmatching and a "custom" (no 2nd cat and super 40 flowie) exhaust. Now only body pannels, tires and a system and it'll be complete. I wanna open up the intake, but I've heard that it isn't worth it with a SD system. What are some good ways to open that stock system up?? What about the ignition system, any benefits from an MSD system or similar?? Just looovvve the power this new engine has, soooo much more than the old one. Based on the mods so far, how much more power does it have, I know its hard to estimate but just a rough guess??
