7.3 engine build advice

I'm currently in the process of stripping down the 7.3 block and heads to be sent to the machine shop to me decked surfaced and vatted

I'm shooting for a 550hp to 600 hp engine. I'll be adding

Stage 2 injectors
Arp head studs
Melling lpop
Aftermarket hpop
Regulated fuel return
Built stock turbo (360 bearings, 1.00 ar housing, ported intake housing, wheel, adjustable waste gate.)
EBPV delete
Non EBPV petistol
High flow turbo outlet
Intake heater delete
6.0 trans cooler

I'll also he reusing the stock forges rods.

My question would be what other parts would be nessasary or recommended and what other advice you might have for this build?

I'm no expert but that HP level is never gonna happen with a stock turbo. Probably need hybrid injectors. People recommend fire rings for HP builds once the heads have been removed. And quality tuning matched to your mods and use for the truck.

600 hp will not be cheap.

There's some stuff to google until more knowledgeable members come along.
