Well I got a very large insurance check thats supposed to be mailed to me in the next 4-6 weeks and I want to dump some of it into my truck. I don't want to spend more than $7500. My plans where to do trans threw dipper and either a 2.5 stage 1 or a 2.6 stage 2 charger from Mark and of course some gagues! What else do I need to supposed these upgrades? What kind of times can I expect with the hand held tuner? I'm hoping to get in the mid to high 12's.

EFI Live, you'll need it with a 2.5/2.6 turbo to get the most benefit, you'll hit 12's with the charger and the right tuning

Build the trans and get a lift pump, then get some good tuning before you decide if you need a turbo or not. Stock turbo, lift pump, and trans can easily get you in the mid to high 12s with the right tuning.
