That's not true. Plenty of people have dyno'd at or near 500hp with just a programmer and intake/exhaust.
1) Shane and Creed have pretty much proven you don't need a tranny to put that kind of power down. How long the stocker will last is debatable, but the fact is it can and has been done.
2) The stocker will cool 450-500hp at 40-42psi of boost. It might not be optimal, but it will work.
3) Needing an aftermarket lift pump I agree with, but you do not need a modded CP3 for 500hp. Lots of people have dyno'd over 500hp with the stock CP3.

I can attest to that!! My stock tranny has 109k miles, been running power adders since 14k miles. First ran the banks six gun, then quad race box, then stacked quad with bdpp, and now stack the quad with Smarty on beta 4.4! I will say its definately starting to feel weak, but it sure lasted a lot longer than everybody says keeps telling me. I know I'll be in for one soon, but I got good use out of it!

EFI live is pretty amazing you can adjust almost everything and set it the way you want it by making your own tunes way better than PPE but PPE is #2 for the dmax.
