Subject says it all.

Assume its a daily driver, tows a 10K 5th wheel from time to time.

Thanks

Stack a couple boxes/tuners and swap in a larger turbo and you'll be there. You'll most likely need a better lift pump, could need a modified CP3, and you should address the tranny, but to get the power is relatively simple.

Edge with HOT juice + TS-MP8 + Aftermarket intake + 5 inch exhaust = 500 RWHP +/- 15.

With 04.5 on up you can do it with just a smarty. That's only$700. But then you blow up $6000 tranny... need new LP at $400+...

Stacking is not needed especially with the improved programming coming out, but dont go buy a 66 with stacked programs and wonder why it is so laggy
