300 to 320. Your next call should be to DP-tuner and get some custom tunes to maximize what you have.

U got a stock trranny? I would say at least get a VB










Oh yea I almost forgot, GET A DP TUNER and get rid of the superchips. It will prolly work better with that turbo and meth kit.
EDIT: Brandon beat me too it....

dp is a hell of a lot better than anything you buy off the shelf, and you should get a bts valve body instead of a torque converter. if you get the vb then you can get your dp tuned for it and you tranny will shift better than ever

truck with superchips=

truck with Dp Tuner=

Any questions?

I would go with at least the VB, get a new convertor when/if you rebuild the stock one. Well at least thats what I did.

intercooler i would go with a stock 6.0 setup because its cheaper. if you want to do a set of single shot you're gonna have to do some kind of custom tune (dp) but i like the stage one or two single shots from beans or swamps. with the sinle shots you won't have to get big oil due to them usin less oil to run you have powdered metal rods so don't be gettin crazy with the power or you'll blow somethin.
