Here is in order from what I can tell what everyone thinks is the best.
($500.00 Price Range)
-SCT Xcal
- SCT Livewire
($400.00)
Edge
Hypertech
SuperChips
Gryphon
Diablo
I wouldn't do the programmer first though, you have your things in order just completely backwards. Go with the CAI, then exhaust, then tuner. The tuner will have to be re calibrated if you get it first once you get the other two!

You can get the SCT tuner (Xcal or Livewire) with custom tuning from either Troyer Performance or VMP, those are the 2 most recommended tuners for our trucks.
