It's hard to not burn a clutch sled pulling. Do you still have the stock clutch?

if your clutch is in not too good of shape now, it might not live thru a sled pull.

Dude play it safe! Its not worth the headache when that clutch goes boom. And your truck is stock you would be better off waiting. I wouldn't worry about a turbo just yet. Get yourself a fuel pump fass or air dog then a chip then injectors. Then you can start thinking about a turbo...

If you're going to pull with a stock fuel system, let me be your fuel psi gauge. ready? 0.
