I've done 550 on 150hp sticks but 200's would have made it alot easier. It sounds like you have your ducks in a row. Just add bigger sticks around 200hp and head studs and you'll have a solid 500hp truck.

no need for 5" exhaust, I know people in the 700hp range with 4" exhaust, its plenty. save the money from the 5" and spend it elsewhere.

Depends on Turbo and Injector Size.

Do you have guages on your truck yet??If not i would strongly suggest you do guages next.Because if you do all those mods and no way to see how hi your e.g.t.'s are, you could grenade the motor.
