Default Looking on making a beast

Hello,
I'm have been saving up some money and been looking all over the world wide web to make my truck into a beast. I'm wanting to turbo or put twins on my 07 crew cab Chevy Silverado Lt with the 5.3 but I wanted to come to the pros on these trucks to see what all I would need to make her push around 750 maybe even more and I'm getting tired of these hondas that have the exhuast cut and would like to show them what the Silverado can do . I wanted to hear how you guys trucks are and what the pros and cons are!!! Will post pictures of the truck now and when I start the build. Taking Pictures today so I will post some soon.
Thanks for you guys help means alot

Judging by your signature, you have a rough idea of what you are doing.

750hp at engine or wheels? What is your budget for this build? While not likely the MOST reliable way to do it you can make 750hp on the stock 5.3 vairly easily with a decent single turbo and e85.

I'm was into the diesel and I know alot of people that work on diesel as a job so I kinda knew what to do like gerret turbo and acouple more mods but if I want to go more its gonna take alot to keep it at that hp is going to take alot of tran work and rear end work. I have started on the Chevy and whated to make her some more hp and kinda want to put some boost on her. I was thinking 750 at the engine and I think my budget would be around 5

The 5k budget is will be a tough one. The mods that are needed for that power level will throw you over 750HP budget.
You will need a strong tranny,
Cam, springs, Turbo kit, injectors, tuning, gauge, meth kit. The list is pretty much up there and can go on and on. Boost is like a drug, you always want more. And its real easy to get more while turboing...

Is this truck a DD? If not, throw on an 80mm and shift kit and let it eat for a while...

The right way to do it would be with a complete fuel system, trans and torque converter upgrade, and forged pistons would be recommended, but that will put you over your budget.
