"White Lightning" build

Hello, I am new to the site and I had a few questions to ask. I have a 2006 QCSB Laramie 2500 4x4 with 56K miles automatic. I bought the truck with a blown head gasket from my buddy and I am new to the diesel world, but i have went all out on my build. What kind of hp and torque numbers am I looking at? What other modifications do I need trying to hit 1000rwhp on fuel only? Just need advice lol

Mods:

Mahle Steel Pistons (New Design)

Fletcher Race Cam
Tre Diesel O-Ringed Head (Cummins 10 over head gasket)
ARP 625 Head Studs and Main Studs
ATS Intake Manifold
AFE Cold air kit
Flex-A-Lite Electric Fans
Industrial Injection Silver Bullet 66mm Turbo
5 inch Magnaflow exhaust
Snow Performance Stage 2 (water only)
Wicked Diesels Coolant Bypass
Goerend Built Full Billet transmission
Darkside Diesel Built Cp3 800hp and 150hp injectors
Raptor 150 pump
Dual Cp3 kit with a stock cummins pump
Glacier Diesel - heater delete
Hellmann Performance - Fuel Sump
Smarty Tnt R
Tst 49

Upcoming mods: Bullseye Triple Turbo kit, Nitrous Express kit, Billet Rods, King Shocks, Trac bar, and Steering Stabilizer.

First, 150 stix, with everything else done right, will get you into 900 range but not close to 1k. Bigger stix needed, recommend 200's. After that, the raptor 150 is marginal at that power level. Maybe it will support, maybe it won't.

Is the head ported? That will help a lot... Do you have a block girdle? Aftermarket CAC? looks like everything else may be there. I would definitely get a rear freeze plug bolt in plug from Haisleys or the like. The coolant bypass alone is not always effective. Also your water injection system is totally inadequate at that level. A lot like peeing on a forest fire.

I also have valve springs, fluid damper, freeze plug bolt and other minor mods that was all done on the truck before i bought it. I do not have a girdle or the head ported. I am running stock CAC.

What water kit do i need?
Where do i need to send my head off to? I am planning to send it to bullseye power to get triple turbos and at that time get billet rods put in, and maybe nitrous.

If i upgrade to the 200hp stix, what pump do i need to go with it a 200 or a 250?

200 is plenty. If truck is going to bullseye already, they may recommend the machine shop.

In this type of build, I like the heads ZZ fabrications does along with their side draft manifold. Or a Hellman's manifold. Those are just my personal preferences though. Others may differ.

On the water, read the sticky at the top of the thread. Lots of good info there.
