Default Most Popular 6.0l Performance Mods

What are the most popular and effective (best bang for your buck) mods for the 6.0l? (By the way I'll be using this 6.0 to make my RCSB truck fast not for hauling heavy loads).

Intake
Exhaust and long tubes
cam, springs, pushrods
torque converter
tune
4.11 gears

Those can made you a 12 second truck with decent tires. If you want faster you can go forced induction.

popular or effective? 1/4 mile or long haul?

the best thing I've seen for a 1/4 mile is a high stall torque converter - it gets you off the line and keeps you up in the power band
