Stock internals are just fine for 600+. Not even pushin her much at those levels. If you are want to upgrade the cam it will help spool and keep temps down. The stock cp3 is about out of gas at 600 though. I dynoed 594 with tnt on #1 and a whopping 613 on #7. No matter what settings I tried, that is all the fuel it would put out. If 600 is the goal then you can do it pretty easy with a tranny, guages, smarty, special or similar turbo, 90 hp stix, head studs, and a cp3 upgrade. You can do it with less but build it once. I'd rather have a 500 hp with few weak points then a 600 hp truck on borrowed time. IMO
