You can get 500 to 600 hp with stock sticks and stock cp3. For that hp level I wouldnt go with 50 hp injectors if you do injectors. The stack you have and a clutch and turbo should put you in that range. You could always mod your own pump for free, its not as good as a real modded pump but it should help, and its free. I think morkable did like 630 something with an attitude, preditor, some 50 hp sticks, sp 62 , and a stage 1 pump.

adam from indy has a 5spd 03. he put down 526hp with a tst stacked on a ppe & silver bullet charger. no fuel system or cp3 mods and stock injectors. so 5-600 can happen if you get the right mods. ive ran a LUK clutch and I dont reccomend one of them to anybody. they dont hold up long. south bend clutches are where its at

I think you might be better off shooting a little high, for example:

Go with a bigger charger to start with, as you'll likely need all the cooling you can get. Go with dual pumps, they're alot more affordable than they used to be.A smarty stacks well with the TST, and it'll give you a lot of power down low to get that sled moving. Head studs, block off plate for the freeze plugs, and a dual disk. If you are able, get the TST upgraded to the adjustable program so you can dial in your timing. Have you already changed your stock exhaust elbow to the 04.5 and up style?

yes changed out the exhaust elbow for an 04.5

and i am kinda scared of the smarty

have been reading bad news

the charger i picked out i can upgrade if need to
i might consider bigger if more people help me out

no i cant update my tst to way under the 5000 series

block off plate were does that go help me out only herd about them a couple of times

do you think is will be easier to go with duel cp3 or a single stage 2 or 3 pump
