Default Looking for 400-500hp, what mods and in what order?

I am looking for 400-500hp, what mods should I do and is there a specific order it has to be done in, was thinking about a 6 position chip, stage 2 cold air, 38r, maybe injectors. What brands and what models of parts work well together, there are so many different injectors out there, how do you choose? What does the % of nozzle signify, what is better, 30%, 60%, 100%? Can I do upgraded injectors before the other stuff because my injectors may be going bad?

Intake
Exhaust
Gauges
Tranny mods
Hybrid injectors
Studs, springs, pushrods
Turbo
Custom tunes


Larger nozzles empty the injector faster... Deciding how to pick injectors is easy, pretty much whatever floats your boat. Pick a size that is going to fit in your goals. For your goal, some 238cc hybrids with a 80 or 100% nozzle would work.

Can I replace the injectors first? What is a hybrid, what does it mean?

Ok, but why do so many over lap one another? There is atleast 2 to every hp range.

It has a lot to do with other variables involved... A small hybrid is what you should be looking at. Doesn't matter if it's a 200cc, 238cc, 250cc, you will get in your goal with any of those, just depends on what side of your range do you want to be... There is no right answer, it's whatever you want...
