Well the first thing you gotta do is get a fuel pressure gauge and a fass or airdog to keep your fuel pressure in check then if you want to one day you could add some injectors and a better fueling box like and Edge juice or comp or a quad addrenaline box the juice and quad come with displays for all your gages like FP, EGT,trans and boost and all other things. Also if you have a manual your gunna need a clutch if its an auto get a good converter and valve body and remember to keep boost under 45psi to make sure you don't lift the head and blow a headgasket

I'm using the HX35 as the top turbo in my setup also but I don't no anything about the HX55 sounds like a nice turbo for a bottom turbo tho

what all is done to your truck right now? with out knowing what injectors, programmer/downloader u have, lift pump, we cant even come close to telling u how much. also, is your truck an auto or manual, and is it set up to hold the power. theres alot more to it than just throwing twins on.

Agreed, we can be more helpful when we know what we are dealing with. Let us know what you have, and what mods have been made, from there we can give TOO much advice.
