Low end torque....

I found low end torque improving as well when I went to a viggen ic from stock unit. That and the elimination of heat soak are the largest gains from this modification.
My recommendation would be to open up the flow of air through the engine before all other big modifications. A better intercooler with a large 3" exhaust elbow (eliminating the 90 degree bend) would be early on my list: ahead of rrfpr, larger injectors, etc. Especially if you are in warm climates. The stock IC will not allow boost past 9-10 psi in warm temperatures; negating any advantage of changes to fuel delivery. Just my opinion....
