Do a Suncoast stage 4 Turbo back exhaust EFI LIVE and a lift pump and you can put down 600RWHP and 1,100RWTQ every easy.

What year is your truck. Where are you located. Fill out your sig. Also look into doing the EGR blocker plate and PVC rerout as soon as possible.

Ya what those guys are saying! For the power it all depends on your money. Unfortunatly the allison 5 speeds (which are in all d-max's untill 06) are known to burn the clutches and throw the truck into limp mode when you add 90+ HP with a tuner.
So to start Id do a 4 inch turbo back exhaust, then a programmer, gauges, and possibly a intake.
Then if you wanna go big you'll have to do the trans. Usually the parts alone are $2,000+ to get some decent HP.
Edge is a decent product. If you get that you can save $$$$ on gauges. Also it has lower settings which you can use before doing tranny upgrades.
Also I will have to say if your starting out talk to one of the site sponsors/vendors

I agree with what everyone here has suggested. I also think that, once you have determined a budget for yourself, it will be easier to design a package for your particular needs. I should say though that a DMAX with the same power your dodge had will be a LOT quicker!!
