i cant go as deep as some of these other guys but here goes.

your trying to build 2 different animals at once, 2 different end goals that are 400 HP apart at best, if 1000 is even attainable for you. parts just dont interchange and work well together at these power levels. like taking a 7 second drag car and putting a factory cam in it! um... thats just not gonna work right. everything is a system and a hp#'s this extreme the system has to work very very well together or things dont last or produce what you want them to. i see no way how you could choose an injector that works well for a sub 600 truck and a 1000hp truck. its just to different. some parts are going to swap over, fuel plate, gov springs ect but many others will have far different qualities that wont jive. if i were in your shoes i would do some serious research and soul searchin to figure out what you really want your truck to be. i can maybe see 800hp being semi streetable but a far cry from safe on the road. you cant have an everything engine, you have to choose the qualities you want most

A 1k hp motor is not gonna be cheep to build, lots of time in cam/head selection along with the fueling side.

As for you question about the wastegates yes you will need one wether it be internal or external. The injectors is a tough one that depends more on what your gonna use for in injection pump.

Ok then well the clutch im getting will be one from south bend rated at 750hp so give me a build for that hp goal then. Still run twins or go large single? I think I want to use my stock p7100. The truck is a 94 with nv4500 so it should have the 175 pump if I can remember correctly.

I have another question, will the 64 be good enough for some light to medium towing? It would be around 5000lb to 8000 and it might see up to 10 000 like once a year. Im not trying to tow this heavy with 700hp but it would just be for a while untill my truck will be too overfueled.

yes, you can pull with a 64 prolly not super heavy it will be laggy with a 71mm turbine though
and you prolly wont get to where you want with your little pump.

If your going for a compound setup you will need to stick with either a 62mm or 64mm turbo.

If my goal is a 750hp daily driver, tow rig, sled pulling, hot rod somebody build me a perfect turbo setup. So far I'm thinking running a silver bullet as the small turbo with the ats pulse flow manifold. What injectors and dv's will get me to that power level with a 0 plate? Other than O ring and port/polish head is there anything else that needs to be done to my engine?

Well it will probably be phased out as a tow rig and daily driver and just be a hot rod to just cruse around in and have fun beating mustangs on the street and some minor sled pulling
