Default 6.0l Horsepower Question

Hey any one out there know how many Additional horse power can i add to my 2006 6.0l six speed manual Safely? I wana put some power adders on but i dont wana do the head studs yet... that is down the line I also do not want to blow my head gaskets. Im lookin at dual 4 in dual exhaust (maybe straight pipe) and an cold air intake. Anyone with knowledge or comments on the Trueflow XDI Intake? Thanks...

you should be find with exhaust and intake but i wouldn't waste to make on cai unless your pushing 500hp. just cut a hole in front of the air box behind the gill. if you want a chip look at sct.

have you ever had any issue with your 6.0l over heating when pulling

Everything that I have read or seen says you need to replace the head studs around 475 to 500hp on a powerstroke.
