Welcome and enjoy your new bundle of joy. Intake and programmer should give you the best hp gains to start out with but who doesn't like a pipe to.

Heh maybe on a 2-stroke. I would highly recommend going with something other than FMF for the 4-stroke machines. (Unless you pick up one of their tuned header pipes. The Megabomb looks pretty slick)
Dasa puts out good power, but there have been some... Reliability issues. Possibly just because everyone's running them, and it's more of a percentage thing, who knows. But Motoworks, HMF, Jardine (For low DB levels, if that's an issue), NMotion, Curtis Sparks, Two Brothers, Trinity, Yoshimura, Pro-Circuit, etc all put out good stuff. I'm sure you'll be happy with anything from any of those guys.
Do yourself a favor a put some skid plates on the thing though; the aluminum frame is tough/rigid, but pretty vulnerable to damage, the a-arm tubing is apparently a little thin, and brake rotors/chain sprockets are expensive to replace. Cheap insurance

yes chassis protection before anything. the front bumper is good until the first shot it takes.
engine protection you should really dump out what's in your kfx right now and put in the full synthetic 5-40 Rotella. that's what most of all of us use on here and seems to be the best oil.
so many things MuAhAhHhHAA tires, exhaust, intake, bumpers, graphics!!!!
