Are you buying a complete kit new, or a used kit? The "stock" radix kit will have everything you need to get up and go with ~5-6lbs of boost.

You will want to address a few drivetrain issues before altering the system to get more from it. You engine will be fine with the Magnuson tune.

Your track times won't = the HP you're making. It's tough to hook a short based truck with a bunch of power on hand. If you're after a quick truck at the track, you need to add slicks which will prolly end up smoking your tranny. After you upgrade the tranny, you'll trash the rear end. Do you see a trend? Fun stuff though!!
