Default 600 hp starting from stock

Hey guys just got my 24 valve about a month ago, it was an ugly beat up farm truck but low miles so I figured okay why not, anyways all I've done is visuals, previous owner straightpiped stock exhaust, I recently started workin at an oil refinery so money isn't really an issue but I still don't wanna get too crazy but I know it'll take some good $$$. Any suggestions to start??

you can pull good horse from a high setting on a programmer but it wont last as long. you want some 150HP injectors, lift pump, smarty S-03, intake, 5 inch turbo back, intake manifold (probably banks), good intercooler, water/meth. injection, maybe a cam
