Upgrading 7.3 questions

I haven’t had a ton of experience with aftermarket parts and am looking for some advice. I am going to be upgrading my ’99 F250 7.3 and am looking at adding the following aftermarket parts:

-S&B intake

4 inch MBRP stainless steel single exit

-Six position Tuner from TDP (Wildman) or Bean’s diesel performance

-Boost fooler?

EGT gauge (already have Trans. Temp.)

Which tuner?

Do I need a boost fooler and if so, where from?

Who has a good EGT for a fair price?

If there is something listed here that you think is a serious mistake, feel free to point it out.

Thanks

Seven-point-three, I don't think you could go wrong with calibrations from Tony OR Jonathan. They're both awesome tuners and wonderful people. Either one would be a fantastic choice.

Your definitaly not gonna go wrong with either tuner. I got my Boost fooler from ITPdiesel. I got my guages from Dieselmanor they have some good deals on gauge packages and have some pretty good instructions with them.

Thanks for the replies so far.
Second post - I live in Whitewater, WI, which is about a half hour from the state line. I used to be a flatlander myself, lived in Elgin, Illinois. I might look into joining a truck club or chapter

Third Post - I have heard good things about both tuners, should probably just flip a coin.

Fourth Post - Thanks for the site, it looks like he has got a lot of aftermarket parts at competitive prices.
