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.

What single turbo would you be able to run with the BD exhaust brake? Or upgrade my Wh1c?

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

I would say 5x.012's with either a 62/68/12-14 or a small set of twins using a stocker with a HT3B

Im the same way, when I got my Dodge I paid 5k for it and the brake came with it so in my mind I have a free exhaust brake. I absolutly love it and like you I am to cheap to buy the larger one.
