Default 98.5 cummins upgrade????

hi, I have a 98.5 cummins 24v, recently installed a 100gph raptor 100 lift pump, s+b intake, and a edge w/attitude....Was wondering what my next upgrades should be? I would like to get around 500hp when I am done. I am aware my tranny will need upgrades, and would like to know if anyone has suggestions about a upgrade kit or a new tranny? Thnaks

4" or 5" turbo back exhaust will help. A muffler will reduce drone, I suggest you get one.

Any more fuel and you'll be getting into dangerous EGT, so fuel and air will have to be done close to the same time. I suggest a set of 150HP injectors, and a 62 or 64mm turbo.

More air, therefore the turbo upgrade. It is the only permanent fix for high egt's. Water/Meth is something that needs to be refilled.
