to keep it running good, don't install the bully dog. Where did you get a 6" straight pipe, that's huge and I've never heard of anyone running anything that big. As far as things that are actually good for it, studs, egr delete, coolant filter, and fresh oil every five.

The larger injectors truly require custom calibration in order to keep the fuel and injection timing mapping in proper syncronization with the VGT turbocharger.
Ditch the BullyDog and find yourself a good custom tuner, such as the SCT. Give us a call; we have several different options available for your applications.

I haven't seen to many recent reviews on the livewire. The earlier reviews weren't very positive though. Things may be turning around.

Do not install larger than a 3.5" DP (OEM 3"), you can go to 4" exhaust after the DP. 6" will give you no benefits, will hurt bottom end performance as will a larger DP.
Leave the OEM Donaldson Powercore air filter in place, it is the best filtration on the market and supplies more air than the 6.0 can use until you exceed 500+RWHP (this takes more than a tuner BTW).
You need gauges, EGT, Trans Temp, Oil or Water Temp, Fuel Pressure.
If you decide to go with larger injectors, you should also install a FASS system and Return Regulated fuel system. The larger injectors will require custom tunes on an SCT to work correctly.
Also you will need ARP head studs and either HyperMax or Fire Ring Head gaskets if you are going to go with larger injectors.
