Hp/tq Upgrade?

I would like more power for my truck over what i got now. Dynoed my truck several months ago and it put down 350HP/698TQ. Would like more TQ and HP, was thinking maybe TST or Smarty when available. What upgrades should i do to the transmission and under the hood before going with more power, any advice would be appreciated.

I would order up a south bend fe or ofe clutch, and get some guages . If you plan on going over 400hp you will need a better lift pump, walbro is what i went with. If you are happy with around 400 horse there are alot of options out there. I believe tst will stack well with the quad. Or you could go with bullydog larry versions or the hot juice. For 500 plus HP the tst and or the new smarty will be the way to go, just depends on how radical you want to get. Anything over 400hp and your stock turbo will be the limiting factor. Good luck!!!

Yah rwhp. I think once you get in the 400 hp and UP areana the stock turbo just cant keep up. To much smoke and sky high egts. Bigger singles and twins clean things up abit.
