I would dyno your rig to see where you stand now.

Remove the lift and big wheels/tires and you will be close. I recommend some headstuds and larger injectors.

You need to fill out your signature so we can see what you have with out you listing it every time. Just a tip

bigger injectors will help a lot like 150 or 175. after some head studs, i would also do some water injection and a small shot of nitrous like a 75 shot or a 100 shot. what would get you over 600 real easy.

Here is a buddies truck and also a DB member who goes by Scott@Alligator. If you read the video description it will tell you what he has done performance wise.

You dont need a 66. You can do it with a 64 and good tuning and good air flow mods. And you will have better streetablilty than with a 66 as well

Never tried a smaller charger, I agree a 66 and street manners don't belong in the same sentence. If your going with a 64, make sure you look at a 71 or larger turbine.
