welcome to the FTE site,
you can do your own filter setup, all you need is 6637 filter , and piece of 4" pipe with clamp to connect it, remove stock filter box, and you good to go,
can help you with 6 speed
i dont think you need HPOP unless you going to put larger injectors, and planning on more mods for you rig
enjoy your stay here

I havent updated my other thread yet with my AIS vs AFE results, but averaging 80 gallons on the AIS, with fendersleeve with huge zoodad resulted in 13.8 mpg, down from my normal 15-15.5 mpg with the AFE stage 2. I even dumped a whole bottle of diesel kleen in the second tank. So back to the AFE stage 2 for me. I also ran a half a tank (20 gal) with the AIS and stock programming, and have come to this conclusion: (remember this is my oppinion, from my experience, yours may vary)
Stock airbox, stock programming yielded ~15.5 mpg. Add AFE stage 2, stock programming, mpg ~no change. AIS, stock programming ~ no change. Add 80hp setting to AFE, mpg ~no change. Add AIS to 80hp setting, - ~1.7 mpg.
I will be going back to the AFE 2 after my trial with the AIS. I personally will not reccomend the AIS to anyone with anything other then stock programming, due to my reduced mpg findings, vs the AFE. If you cant deal with the whistle of the AFE, and can afford the extra money in fuel or will go back to stock programming, then the AIS is for you. However, my results may also vary from yours as my truck always weighs atleast 8700.
I personally reccomend the AFE stage 2.

You may want to call BTS(Brians Truck Shop) http://www.brianstruckshop.com/
and ask him about it. he specializes in the 4R100 auto, but has done some auto to manual swaps so he knows the ZF6 pretty well also.
