Need Help!

What should be my first real bolt-on? I own a 2001 R/T with 4900miles

The 5.9 currently has a 180T-Stat with some 3923 Autolites! Dyno around 224hp
      327.6tq @ the wheels with 4000k on the clock! Tested on a Dyno Jet.

Ok I've been thinking if I should purchase a F&B TB? Should I get a 50mm or the
      52mm? I would like to install a M1 and some 2.02 R/T heads down the road.
      Would the 52mm be too big until I install the
heads and the M1? Dyno testing only showed a 2hp increase with no intake system
      on. So I still don't see a great restriction at the moment with the stock
      air box.

Would a set of $50 wires be worth it? IAT Adjuster? $200-300 Cold intake
      system? I heard an intake system acts like a ram air and it should make
      more hp than nothing on the TB, is this true?
$200 Jet Chip? Headers? Muffler? Is an R/T exhaust system restrictive? I think
      it's not, I can hear hints of popping while decelerating on the highway
      just like any free flow system would do.
Also at the Dyno I got a few comments on the loudness of the stock exhaust and
      how did dodge get that passed noise emissions! LOL!

Any Suggestions?

Thanks, Anthony
