hmm the famous question that pops up every week! well for starters, sdx injectors, BBD performance will get you the hook up, you will find that there are cheaper injectors and they are the lucas 300 prince of darkness, i currently are running these and i can vouch that they will make a truck turn 313rwhp/792rwtq, but god are they smokey and a pain in the butt to tune, . and before all of this, GAUGES!!!! a pyro and boost and a tranny temp (if you dont have a hand shaker) dont forget the head studs and valve springs, especially before you slap on a bigger turbo. as for turbo's, idk, i still aint got one yet .

i would through a bully dog fuel pin and a 3800 rpm gov spring, when you do that gov spring they suggest to put 60 lbs valve springs in it to. then i would through some 80 horse injector nozzles in it. thats just shy of what i have in my truck and it will do anything i could thing about doing and more. don't forget gauges

Beef up the TC or put in a good clutch...power don't mean nothin if you can't get it to the ground.

well i wouldnt through a bd fuel pin in they gouge to bad butt deff before anything you need to know what your running so get gauges and good luck with the turbo because there is so many different styles and sizes and all you just want to get one that will fit your driving style and also i would invest in a set of injectors because after you buy the nozzles and get them machined and pop tested and all that crap it will be just shy of the price of a good set of sticks butt the best thing to do is what u want its good to ask for advice butt do what makes you happy man i know my truck with what ive done has more power than i need i justed fryed my turbo yesterday and dont have money for a new one

those are about the last things i would. quick search will tell you that. first of the ve doesnt do too well in a 3800rpm range. hence why the 3200 spring is a much better option. bd makes a junk fuel pin as well. and get some real injectors not just nozzles.

and as stated before, you want real power, go to a p pump best money i ever spent
