puttin myself out there

I've owned my truck since new (now have 135K), i have blown two headgaskets, the first tiime i didnt know about headstuds. this second time i do, i've been reading forums and googling stuff for the last 9 months or so, i read till my eyes get sore. I've tried to learn all i can and that was before i blew my HG a second time. So here i am, i've just completed ordering all my chit and hear it is: (open to be dissected)

Arp studs
coolant recirculation lines - elite
Oil cooler core
Head gaskets
Intake manifold gaskets
updated hpop fitting (the pedistal or something)
coolant filtration system from dieselsite
EGR DELETE
SCT3 tuner

any feedback is welcome, parts are taking a bit to come in so i'm assuming my truck will be in the shop, in about two weeks

btw, is $3,500 for labor a crzy #, fire away..i'm going to get a beer
