What to I need to make 550 HP
I'm wondering what I would need to get a good clean and safe 550 HP out of my truck and still be able to keep it as my daily driver? It will get a tranny once this one takes a crap, but until then the truck is stock other than the few mods in my sig. Look that over and any words of advise would be great and thank you!

With your mods now if you throw some 60hp injectors in, upgrade your lift pump (Fass or AD would be my choice), and turn up your CP3 pump you should be pretty close to 550. But if this is your daily driver I wouldnt try and run that much power until you upgrade the tranny, otherwise it's going to leave you stranded on the side of the road. That's just my opinion though. Maybe some one else with a little more knowledge will chim in and help you out.

Yes the tranny is going to be the first thing I upgrade on the list to hit the 550 mark. How do you go about turning up the CP3 pump? Also where do you think I would be sitting if I went to a 80-100 HP injectors or do you think that would be to much even though I had the AD done? Also do you think I should pay for the "hot unlock" on my Edge?

From my experience I wouldnt do the injectors until you get more air to the motor. My 07 pushes 1600 to 1700 F with stock CP3 and injectors. If you put more fuel to it right now you will be in need of an exhaust manifold and tranny before long. Once you have upgraded the turbo I suggest going with injector tips from DDP versus replacing the entire injector you will save big bucks.

if you install nozzles without running them on a test stand you are taking a big risk. Each injector an flow differently and more flow = bigger differences. It is not a bad idea to have them installed by a shop that can calibrate them or just get a new set of injectors. Seen a few engines go south because they were not balanced once installed.
