What are you doing with the stock seats?

First upgrades I would make are the brakes. Get some better calipers and lighter rotors all around. Possibly go to 13" rear rotors to clear 15" wheels for slicks.

As for the paxton are you going to use an intercooler? I know a place that makes a very nice intercooler for the dakotas and i'm sure they could get you pointed in the right direction for the viper motor.

hotchkis sway bars?

I would check the bump steer if you plan to auto-x or road race it. The dodge pickups are notorious for having a lot of bump steer. best solution to date is to lower the truck a couple inches and change the tie-rod ends to a spherical rod end with spacers so you can adjust the height of the rod end on the spindle.

Other than the little stuff like moving the battery and what not sounds like you should have a pretty trick truck.
