adding HP, Help
I'm looking to get my truck up to 500 Hp over the summer. Right now I'm just wanting to gather some information on buying the right stuff. My truck has 373 Hp now the way it sit. I want to do the right modifications so it wont harm my truck. I would like it still to be my daily driver , tow rig , and street performer. can you guys help or point me to the right parts. I know I'm going to need a clutch I just have the stock one in and it slips sum when the chip its turned up.

Here are some suggestions: (if $$$ were no issue)
*South Bend Clutch + Hydraulics (dual disc is what I'd go with)
*150 HP injectors
*Twin Turbo setup from Performance Car / Truck (Golden, CO)... ask for Max. He's a guru on these engines / turbo's.
*Camshaft upgrade
*South Bend Clutch + Hydraulics (dual disc is what I'd go with)

I dont know where I'm at for HP or TQ but putting the DD3600 was a big night and day diff from other clutches. from southbend. over time I out grew the other clutches. so my advice if you can go with a DD clutch the first time. I would say studs and possible o-ring's. springs or cam? I'm still pondering my self. if I want to do it. I dont tow much anymore. BUT with the HO vp this is a limiter. I dont know when it comes time if I will just go up to mach 5's or want to mess with a SO and possible problems. or go with a bigger timed VP.
