upgrade list please critique

Like most I have gotten the bug and want more out of my '95. I am going through the whole truck axles, steering... to make sure everything is running in top shape. I will also be getting Gorand tranny in the next month or so. Now for the engine stuff. My list as it stands now is a
#10 plate,
4kGSK,
Dodgesilla turbo (34/40 hybred),
4" exhaust,
BHAF and gauges are already installed,
injectors of some kind I am leaning toward the 275's but would be willing to look at other inexpensive options. AFC ???. I also have to adjust the timing to 15.5* and take care of a lot of oil leaks. So are there any recomendations or changes you would make? I want to get everything together so I can hopefully tackle this in a weekend when I can get a second set of hands to help.

I am looking to get somewhere in the 800TQ range and will use it primarily for light towing (5000-6000lb) and a little playing around.

How much will the 160HP pump hold me back, since I am not looking at replacing that anytime soon due to the cost.
