I got to 477whp in an 02 5.3, maybe about $3000

$2000: P1SC ~12psi (I think it was a 3.4 pulley), with injectors and a tune
$700: Air to Water IC
$300 +/- some: LS9 cam, fabbed front cover, LS6 springs

Bone stock intake, TB, exhaust, trans, etc.

I had a 255 (genuine), and unsure on injector size, I will have to check that with my tuner too.

Anyway, I recall us being at 98% duty cycle and therefore we couldnt get anymore RPM out of it. I think we were taking it to 6600.

You can make as much or as little power as you want, its only money.

I think it' a legitimate question if noahcorbett has been through the add ons with another vehicle. Maybe he has experienced "20" more horsepower and "75" more horsepower and is tired of the disappointment. Maybe he already knows that he needs to double the truck's horsepower to get what he is after and just wants an estimate of what it will cost. Or maybe he will be a one post and gone guy.

His question is very specific as to the power level he wants, and wants to know what it will cost.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, just keeping the conversation open. I don't know why, since he's a one post and gone guy

Ha, ha, ha. Not at all. It's just that there are so many people that come to this website, post a question, and never even check back to see the answers. And your question was typical of such people.

I think a Whipple 2.9 or Magnacharger would be best, because the truck will run like stock except the imaginary numbers on the gas pedal go from 0 to 20 instead of 0 to 10.
