Default Where to go from here.... Turbo? Injectors? Which ones?

Well... I am getting my head back soon! Since the head gasket popped I decided to make it much stronger as a preventative measure and had the head machined and o-ringed. So now im not sure where go for more power. I have an Airdog fuel system, Quadzilla Adreanaline with Pulse, K&N Intake, Muffler Delete, Fuel pressure gauge (all other gauges handled by ADR). I was thinking about getting a turbo and injectors... My goal is to eventually break 600hp (the more the merrier). My trans is stock auto but I want to install a manual because i dont want to break the auto!

What turbo is good? I DO tow my boat and such so i dont want to sacrifice towing, i also daily drive it for the most part! So if i can turn the ADR down to still get decentish mileage that would be sweet too!!

Thanks guys!

Since you have the head off anyway I'd say a set of 120hp injectors and a 64mm turbo.
With the right tuning and an S.O. or Hot Rod pump you'll make 600hp.

i get better millage with my adr up do you get better down from 00 to 10 i get 5mpg dif
and are you prepared to do your trans the way you want because the adr will burn them up by itself if you put a turbo and inectors your gonna burn it that would be the first thing i did i did not on my truck and learned the hard way with a failure when i really wasnt ready my next truck the first thing i do will be the trans

What kind of power is expected from that turbo and 150hp injectors? I can't afford a pump right now... maybe in spring tho.

Doberman - it gets great mileage turned up but I have a problem with my gas pedal... for some reason it likesbeing stuck to the floorboard.

64mm turbo and 150s will work good with a 5spd.

Every turck is a little different and no two dynos ever give the same numbers. We dynoed a '01 with S.O. pump 120's and a 62mm with a Quad Adreneline and it wnt 548rwhp. Depending on the pump and tune you'll push the 600's.

I would definitely do a transmission first, My stock 47RE could only handle 3 months of the ADR W/PCM on MILD settings. I got a Goerend unit with triple disc torque converter and ALL upgraded internals. Runs like a scalded ape!!!!! You dont realize how much power you're really losing through the tranny until you get a new one. Also, are you running a 3 inch exhaust with muffler delete or a 4 inch with muffler delete?
