Default 99 horsepower?

I've got a 99 automatic. I've got 5 inch exhaust cold air intake and air dog lift pump allready! I'm looking to get about 400 HP. What mods do I need and especially what programmer? What's the best for the money?

I have gauges and yes tranny is built! I would like a moniter with the programmer! But I don't want to spend over 1000 dollars on it! Can I run a bully dog watch dog as moniter with the smarty? What size injectors? And would I need head studs if I ran stock turbo?

X2, Your gonna want a lift pump to save the VP44, you will need to tap the pump to get the numbers you want.

I am skeptical you will get your numbers with the stock HX35, you will need to upgrade to a HE351 or a S300 in the 62/65 ballpark.

You wont need head studs unless you get over 45 PSI of boost...... You can re-torque the stock bolts and feel easy up to 45. Not likely you will see that much boost with and EJWA and 100's......

I have a II Phatshaft 62/65/14 for sale as it is too big for me when I am in towing mode. Spools too late....Towing is the kind of power I am after.

on my 99 12v I layed down 454 hp 1156 with a hx35. of course I had enough fuel to spool a 66 with ease, but im a poor bastard.

on a buddys 01 dodge, he layed down 399hp with a edge juice with attitude 100s and everything else stock.
