Add your favorite 4 inch exhaust $300-$500 and you have a fun fun fun rig. Tuner with 5-6 tunes $450ish$7,500ish and money for the problems these upgrades to power production may expose...$500-$600 for Terminator mod'd HPOP, $120ish ICP, $40ish CPS, $200ish IPR sensors, then go from there.
One way to save money is to go with the 6637 intake setup Clay sells.

With the AC's, his stock HPOP will be more than enough so he can save money there too. Although from my sig you can tell that I too like Terminator Engineering HPOP's.

For the price I would go with TE, but you want to spend more $$$ go with adrenaline both are top notch quality.

500 HP and DD don't go well together, unless you take up tuning or hire a tuner for a while.

I reach about 400 HP and that's a helluva lot more gumption than it sounds on a gasser. It's the torque... the torque you want to look at. Torque is what gives you acceleration with our low-RPM diesels, and saying that - those same low RPMs skew the HP numbers. HP is a mathematical equation that involves torque and RPMs - with higher RPMs raising the ultimate HP number. I don't know the equation, but for those who do - factor the following if we could reach 5000 RPMs: Torque is a simple reading - foot/pounds of force. A 2016 Corvett with the performance package has 650 ft/lbs of torque. I have about 800 ft/lbs of torque with the 160/100 injectors, air mods, stock fuel pump, and I'd bet a healthy stock HPOP can deliver the goods with those injectors.

S&B intake feeds my 38R and AC 160/100s without issue on a 4" exhaust. However... the intake plenums blew and I had to go to a billet plenum with an O-ring seal, to go with my Riffraff Diesel CAC boots. I have the HD4R100 transmission, and it has taken a profound beating in my learning stages. Tuning takes all the neckwear out of your shifts, if the transmission is configured correctly - and the traction bars really help with shifts, even during sane driving.

I want your setup basically. But I was going to do 200cc 30% hybrid from swamp. What you think . Also how tuff of a job is it to install billet plenums ? I found some nice ones but they insist professional installation. I'm a professional I believe lol .

A variation is the option(s) in my sig. Minus the Terminator HPOP, use 160/30 injectors. I've been running this for a few month's and the power is striking-definitely "you can feel" category.
