What power level are you looking for? Is this a daily driver or weekend warrior? How are you going to tune it?

I've been reading up on the Moates quarter horse and Tweecer..what ever you folks think is best..I wanna be able to eliminate Egr and upgrade injectors..to what yet Idk..but as far as power and driveability, I'd like to go far as I can on premium gas and run a stock stall converter.if possible. Thank you for asking...I think anywhere around 350hp would be great..anything after that if any would be a bonus. Truck will be more a weekend warrior (6 pack truck) too many chevy buddies round here..
