Hey yall I’ve done some digging around on here but I’ve gotten bits and pieces of what I’m looking for, I’m curious on what your guys opinions on what it would take to go from a stock 95 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 5.9 Cummins with the NV4500 trans. I’ve done some mods I’ve taken the #8 plate out for the time being and installed 4" turbo back exhaust with a Aero Flow muffler, my current goal is to have a 400hp truck that is extremely reliable and excellent for towing. Thanks for all the input! Great site! 
make your own kit there easy the HX35 over HT3b seem to be super popular for towing and DDing

For 400hp, don't do twins. Keep it as simple as possible with a single. If you decide to go twins, keep them small.
3k GSK
You don't need studs, but tightening the head bolts or new over-tightened allen bolts would work great
better clutch (valair or southbend. talk to both and go with who you like best)
Maybe injectors. Get a good set from SDX or Contagious.
You don't need DV's unless you want more EGT's
Last, pull the plate and tune the AFC
You should be at least a fast spooling 400hp with this.

if you have the same E-Brake as I do its a 3in V-Band so any turbo that uses a 3IN V-Band out let it will work I am building the BBD Twin kit and am making a sweet little adapter that will go from 4 or 5 in V-Band to that little 3in brake then back out to 4 or or 5in exhaust some will call that point less but hey I love my brake and I am too cheep to buy a 4 or 5in inline
