Time to upgrade!

Ok guys its time to start upgrading again, my goal is to gain power but keep reliability (increase it on the tranny) so far I have a T500, 3" dp, afe oversized tranny pan, bigger tranny cooler. Currently im waiting on parts for my intercooler build, but Im looking at upgrading my injectors through rosewood, if i go with stg 1s would I need to upgrade my tranny more then just a triple disk tc? Im also going to put a triple disk tc on, the hpx crossover pipe from riffraff for the hpop lines, and the billet compressor wheel from riff raff. I want to do 4" pipe im thinking straight pipe, my truck is already straight piped and isnt too loud. What do you guys think? Any ideas? Suggestions? Keep in mind its my dd and it looks like im going to be switching jobs so ill be using my truck to drive cross country with my tt

You don't need the crossover pipe with a T500, according to Joey.

I would add e-fuel to the list if you are looking for other ideas. It will run smoother and support more power as well as delete that leaky, problematic fuel bowl. It also cleans up the engine bay and makes things a lot easier to access.

There are a lot of write ups, do a search. Also, a lot of companies sell kits and there are write ups on DIY.
