Talking Truck down for MAJOR upgrades...

Some of you guys know of the upgrades i plan on doing to my truck, well today will be the first day of work...tear down of Interior will go first and as soon as S/C and Injectors come in, the tear down of engine will begin.
This is what im installing/doing to truck in the next 2 weeks:
INSIDE:
-Removing all interior components (seats dash carpet)
-Installing Sound deadening material throughout cab
-Installing Lotek gauge pod
-Creating custom gauge pod for 3 gauges (somehwere)
-Installing Panasonic VAD3200U Multimedia DVD/Widescreen LCD Station (won it free 2200-2700usd value)
-Rewiring rear speakers (for now) through Sony 5 channel amp
-Properly installing JL Audio 6.5" Speakers in rear
Thats all i can think of yet....
ENGINE:
-Removing FIPK and other components taht are going to be replaced
-Installing 370cc RC Enginering Injectors
-190lph Fuel pump
-Redoing Fuel line to incorperate Fuel Pressure Sendor (gadgets advice)
-Installing SMT-6
-Installing S/C
-Installing Supra Maf into custom air intake
-Installing ESC1
-Replacing Coolent/Tranny Piping (leaky leaky)
-Installing Tranny Cooler
-Installing Flex-a-lite fan
and hopefully IPT valve body upgrade!

Whew...thats what im doing in my newley built 800 sq ft garage...
Everythign I do will coem with a write up from start to finish so people can follow footsteps easily!

Any advice/warnings people can give me are much appreciated!

Wow, that's a lot of stuff to do. You must have quite a bit of time and money for all those mods.

Well, no advice here. I just wanted to say good luck with it.

Yea its over 7000 in mods...i got a sponser to pay for injectors and the gauges (freind of mines performance shop gave me gauges)...i also won a panasonic vad9300 which is already like 2700 bucks =]...the injectors came in today and s/c is at my grandmothers house in states just gotta pick it up =]....
Time wise....well i spend about 2-3 hours a day on it...(soon to be liek 6-7)

Chris,
on gadget's site where he replaced some part of the fuel pipe hardline with teflon (i think it was) hose that would add the pressure sendor without compromising fuel pressure...
