Default Quest for power

So I just bought a 94 for the engine gonna put it in my 02 when its done, It has 490k on it and was just wondering what kind of internals I should be replacing? Should I do a whole rebuild rods and all or what? Also I want it to make sick power so I was thinking a 13mm pump from Scheid or II as well as the race compound set up from II. 500 to 600hp is common place for diesel trucks around here so I want to be well above that pushing the 4 digit mark so lets hear what you guys have to say.

Hahahahaha. I knew this would get a reaction, yes its my DD and I'm aware its gonna cost lots and will be a handful to drive daily but I've always been one for overkill so I'm just looking for some guidance. This will be used and used hard so don't be shy let's hear some ideas.

1000hp 12V is not going to be very streetable for a DD.

I agree. 600-650 is as high as you will need for a street truck.

High as I need until some guy comes along with a common rail and blows my doors off besides if 600 was all i wanted there would be no need for the 12 valve
