question on what else i need to hit 500hp

i would like to get up to about 500hp. never dynoed my truck but what do you think i'm up to now w/ what i have in my sig? what else do you think i should get? i'm not trying to spend boat loads of money. i'm also debating ditching the edge j/a and getting a smarty and gauges. also if i get gauges i'm thinking 3 on the pillar. obviously egt and boost but would i need a trans. temp. gauge w/ the nv5600 or should i go w/ a fuel pressure gauge? sorry about all the questions i'm still new to all of this. thanks in advance.

I would deffinatly go with the Smarty and gauges first. There is no need for a trans temp gauge on a manual trans so Pyro/0-60 boost/0-35 fuel pressure gauges are what you need. On an 04 you will really need a turbo(62/14) a fuel system, and some 50hp injectors will get you right at 500hp maybe more.

So you need...

62/14 turbo
Smarty
Gauges
Fuel System
Injectors

^ thats pretty much what i plan on doing for mine.

Maybe throw an MP8 in there and you'll for sure be over 500.
