I have an all stock 2006 3500 completely stock. I'm wondering what the first upgrade I should make is. I eventually want to have it daily driver at around 500 hp but this will be a process.

A Cold Air Intake, 4" Turbo back exhaust, some form of lift pump (mechanical or electrical), extra filtration, then a good tuner. Sounds like a lot, because it is but your truck has a bunch of potential.
