A little intro and advice needed- 2006 CTD

Hey DTR guys, have an 06 2500 auto with a few mods- AFE stage 2 intake, CAT delete with high flow muffler, and a Diablo Power Puck(not very popular, I know, but it works for now.)
Some pics-- Sorry for cell phone quality :/

Anyways on to the help. I've got the fever and I'm ready to add more power. 500 RWHP sounds like a nice even number to shoot for, but I need help getting there.

Here's how I'm thinking of setting it up-

ATS 5 star converter, an Arson kit for the CP3, FASS or Air Dog, either a single or compound turbo(s) from ATS, probably going to need a better chip to increase fueling (Smarty? etc..?), 90 hp nozzles, and I'm sure there are a few things I missed... Anyways any thoughts, comments or recommendations on the setup mentioned above would be appreciated.

John

Other than the obvious trans upgrade, I would go with FLUX iunjectors first, then more air via any turbo you like...

Once you have that all lined out and it feels good, you can decide if more HP is needed.

based upon your 500hp number, I think flux 2's are a nice fit

Thanks Tomeygun, those F1 flux 2 injectors look like they would be a good fit, and are actually reasonably priced.

Anyone with compound turbos want to chime in here?
I like the ATS turbo, but don't know how big I need to go. At least a 4000, but the 5000 is only a $200 difference so how do I know which one I should be leaning towards?

Good to know about the CP3, I didn't know if it would provide enough fuel or not so the Arson kit seemed like a good idea (not like I couldn't upgrade it later anyways)

I have heard some bad things about the Air Dog 150 -Electrical grimlins and warranty stuff- I was leaning more towards a FASS 150 just for that reason.

Looking at the DTT site right now... Any reason you suggested them? Looks like they make a good product.

Thanks guys keep the input coming its giving me an idea of what I need to start shopping for.
