Work on the exhaust first.
See below.

Exactly.

It is well worth the upgrade, works better in conjunction with a freer flowing exhaust. For the power he wants, both are necessary.

I don't recall from where, but I have notes for the stock keg being 219cfm, and FI-Airgap at 265cfm.

The airgap number could be a hughes number, so that would likely be inflated.
I do remember checking multiple places to look for a consensus, before noting them.

Stock magnum 5.9 has about 245 hp at the crank. Wheels should be around the 190 range.

Yup. Wanna play ya gotta pay. One at a time you wont notice much, mods work in conjunction with each other.
