Default Is this the right way to go?

Okay now that i got my new paint job and my rims on the way heres the complete lineup of all i want to do to my truck. Just wanted to ask if all of these are good stuff..

1. M1 Intake Manifold
2. 53mm Throttle Body
3. 4.10 Motive Gears
4. Auburn Diff.
5. Underdrive Pulleys
6. K&N FIPK
7. Harland Roller Rockers
8. B&G Reflash

I already have Pacesetter headers, No cats and 10 series flows.
How much horsepower am i looking at?
Also what do u think itll run in the 1/4 after those mods... Thnx guys...
Edit: also im looking for some heads any suggestions on what kind? I heard R/T heads were good.
Any other mods let me know!

Is this your toy or DD? Here's an idea probably not what you're looking for, but it's what I'm planning because it's my daily driver. Putting fresh performance on old bearings and stuff stresses your motor fast. Instead of doing all the mods on an engine in the truck with 115K miles, I'll get a salvage yard motor to put on my engine stand for a good rebuild, put all the goodies on fresh engine parts. If you chose to, you can recoupe the cost of the salvage engine by selling the one you pull out.

I had over 500K miles on my '66 Mustang (OK, time to dog fords) when I finally sold it, because Ialways had an extra engine on the stand being rebuilt little by little.
