All of the above!

Seriously, what are your goals? More power? Better fuel economy? Longevity?

Ultimately I want to get up the 5-6 hundred horsepower range. I a streetable truck thats a killer on the street and can do great at the truck pulls. I want to make sure everything I do works well with each other. I am planning on doing the supporting mods first and build my way up.

Jeremy Congats on the pay off !!! And by your sig it looks like you have a good jump start on support mods. So what is your next support mod ?? I would suggest HPOP and since you plan to over 500-600hp I would go with a T1000 or dual pumps but if you keep it under or at 500hp I would think a T500 or a SRP1.1 would do the job. And don't forget new hpo oil lines and a IPR.
Now I myself believe in the Terminator products!!

Thanks! I was sure what my next supporting mod should be. I am kinda leaning towards the regulated return. Just cause I know I'll need that. Are there any others that I am missing ? Should I go with big oil before turbo and injectors
