Quick Hp?

What do you all recomend buying for quick fairly safe mods for more power? Programmers,exhaust,intake? Edge or PPE? Like to get 550hp? I'm new to this site,thanks a lot in advance.

I would start with a exhaust and gauges. Then add a programmer, if you want to get to 550 rwhp you will need a transmission upgrade.

We have tuning available to max out your stock turbo, typically rwhp is 520-540.

If you have any questions let me know. There are a few other items you would want if making 500+ hp.

The PPE or Edge Race can get you knocking on 500. Some guys have laid down over 500 with the PPE hot+2.

black, if you don't have the money for the tranny upgrade. i'd recommend a bigger straight through exhaust, if you have a lilly then the turbo mouthpiece, an egr blocker plate, and a PPE. I'm happy with these mods and the PPE on level 2 for daily driving. I've turned it up to level 3 a few times and it's crazy...I can't imagine level 5.

if you have lots of money then i think you should go with EFI live and a tranny upgrade, lift pump and fuel rail shim. These are the next mods for me. I've ridden in a truck with EFI tuning and it's totally different than my PPE, just feels so much smoother

You will get mixed reviews on this board about a new intake. I went ahead and went with an open CAI with the oiled filter and will be going back to my stock intake as soon as I have a few minutes to put it back on. I know Killerbee on this site has a "true" CAI option that you can buy from him, which I'd buy if I had the money.
