I figured I can't do this with the TST alone so what else would complement it. I figured I need an upgraded injector pump, who make a good one and stands behind it near Missouri. I see people achiving this with a single turbo and thinking eithering some for High Tech Turbo or Industrial Injection unless there is a good place in Missouri. Is streetable with a single turbo and that power range possible or will it be surgy. Can 500 be done with the stock sticks or do i need to upgrade them as well.

Truck is no longer a daily driver due to fuel prices. Since i am saveing so much with my commuter car, I figured time to throw some $$$ at the toy. Probably will end up hooked to a sled at some point but still need to be able to pull my bass boat with out much trouble. A little lag is ok. Smoke don't bother me.

So from the folks that are in the know is it possible and what recommendations. I don't just want to be able to make that on the dyno want to be able to drive it like that.

Thanks. Hope I made sense.

My truck is a daily drive and geats good mpg towing and non towing. I drive it around programmed to 500hp and it works great. I turn it up to 560+ when I want to play. I think you will find out that its very easy to do and it works for alot of people. Upgrade the cp3, lift pump and a good all around turbo if you don't do twins and stack with the Smarty and you are at 500+. Good luck

I ran with the Predator "tow tune" 456hp @ 900trq, before I installed the FASS 150, I now have the Smarty and I'm sure I'm closer to 500hp now, I just haven't had time to get to the dyno to verify.

I'm at 500hp+/1077tq+ w/ my mods.

You should be able to get to 500hp with a turbo added to your mix. The latest TST with all options should get you right about there. A II Silver 62 type turbo will not be too laggy on the street and provide all you need for 500hp.

I was just over 500hp with AFE Air Intake, high flow muffler, SPS66 turbo, FASS and TST/EZ stack. That was with a fully built 48RE that helped put most of the power to the ground. I am close to 600hp with stock cp3 and injectors with my current mods.

I'm at around 500 with my mods listed. It drives great, and it goes when you kick it!!!

Intake, exhaust, Lift pump, Smarty, studs, and a small turbo would get you there. You may benefit from a modded CP3 at that level, but I know of a couple stock cp3's in the 560/1100 range.

I did 523/1001 with TST with no pressure, lift pump, turbo, and DDP 90's.

You'll need injectors, F1's, DDP, or Extrude Honed will work.

i just put down 520hp w/ what's in my sig. however i have an 05 and not an 03

i would do a lift pump, small turbo, small injector upgrade and call it good.

You won't need injectors immediately, the TST stacked with a Smarty with a turbo will get you there. Then you can save money for stix, studs, and eventually a cp3 upgrade. This IMO, but this is the route I'm going. Stick around 500 for awhile, then when I get more dinero I can bump on up to the 600 club!

stix, studs and a turbo.
personaly id sell the tst and get a smarty...
i did 450 on a stock turbo and stock stix with h20/meth....

SMOKIN-U

i did 583/1147 with stock pump and stix with whats in my sig. I drive the truck almost daily and to all the pulls. i would say get a trans, fuel system a good downloader and pressure box and a 66 and let er rip

Guys w/ 04.5+, we don't really need your input as bad as we do from the 03-04s. 04.5+Engines are too easy to get 500+ from. No offense intended.

I was wondering the same thing. With that SO motor he is gonna have to spend some coin.
