Default well i am in need of a plan...

well ok guys i have psted on here a couple of times now and have been saving up my money and been doing some research on some parts and things but i still cant come up with a solid plan to reach my goal....

my goal is to reach 600hp and be as bullet proof as possible i have a stock lly and dont plan on lifting it. i want to keep it a street sleeper. i love going out on the town and smashing down the throttle and blowing the doors off of little cars that dont think that a heavy truck will keep up with the rice grinder..... i got a programmer came with the truck when i bought it edge juice with attitude. but what im looking for is a list of things to do or a just a build plan. ttyl

IMO Minimum:
1. Built transmission
2. EFI Live Tune
3. Lift pump

500hp seems to be about the limit you want to go with a stock motor. Start saving for a rebuild of your motor if you run at 600hp all the time.

agreed, the rods and head gaskets will be taking a dump at 600hp

with the lly and newer engines boost can be electronically controlled.

with a tune, exhaust, intake trans and efi live, lift pump the ruck can run high 12's in the quarter. without the trans your looking at mid/high 13's
