You already know you want Gauges and 100 HP. So why not go for the Edge Juice With Attitude? It has every gauge you can think of built into the Attitude Monitor and it will give you the 100+ Hp you are looking for. The only other things you would need are BHAF and a small universal fuel pump you can add as a pusher to assist your factory LP!
3 parts and you can monitor everything and pick up an easy 100HP Plus it wouldnt even take all of one afternoon to intall everything. Depending on your driving habits you may or may not need to worry about your clutch. The clutch is a wear item and will eventually need to be replaced anyway, so when you do try looking into something in a performance upgrade.
You also asked about exhaust, but the factory 3" is not as restrictive as some think. If you want it for cosmetic's or sound then any of the exhaust systems on Ebay will do the trick. If you just want to throw an aftermarket muffler on there it will also lower the back pressure and help in the sound dept.
Good luck and enjoy your new truck!

I think edge juice w/attitude is your best bet, and then plan on a clutch,if you dont plan on showing some dude in a rice burner that Girls can drive fast diesel trucks, then the stock clutch will be fine, but the first time you bump it up to level 5x5(with the wire tapped of course) to show him whos boss, bye bye clutch. As far as a intake the BHAF is the cheapest and the easiest way to go. Exhaust is a must so they can hear you coming,but the stocker is good for now,if you are happy with it, But there is nothing like a girl in a loud Diesel coming at ya. Just my $.03!!
