Compromise
The stock setup Dodge and Cummins came up with is great for the majority of comsumers, ie >50%, otherwise the vehicle would be setup differently. You need to decide what exactly you want. I did not go drastic as I drive my vehicle primary as a daily commuter but wanted the extra umph when towing. I gave up a bit of streetability for better towing potential. I running a 62/12 which gives me what I want. Doesn't spool as quick as stock but gives me more boost than stock sacraficing a little streetabilty but I can easily adjust my driving with the manual transmission. Think of it as line between a maximum performance and an econo box. Where position do you fall on that line. If you are realistic in what you want to achieve, the reputable aftermarket suppliers will steer you in the proper direction. You can't want to make 1000 ft-lbs of torque and have the street manners of stock in the same package, you have to compromise! Good luck in your search.
