I have seen close to 500 rwhp from the stock turbo a few times (but that doesnt mean they will live long). The stock fuel system will max out in the upper 300's (assuming you still upgrade injectors). I think i saw one truck with every mod possible with stock fuel hit real close to 400 rwhp. They both can support enough power to make your transmission go out!

My goal is 375rwhp. Can it be done. I plan on buying a reman turbo or rebuilding mine. Yes, I do plan on injectors. What size would you recommend for that kind of number?

Injectors
Turbo
Fuel system
HPOP

OF course
gauges,
exhaust,
Intake

I'm wanting to do this on stock turbo an fuel system. I email jake@irate about his e-fuel kit an some turbo I found on there.

You answered your own question.

jakes e-fuel(not stock) and his turbo(again, not stock)

That is a last resort though. I wanna attempt all of this on stock components besides injectors an exhaust an such.

Do it and let us know how you make out

I made 380HP to the wheels with Swamp's Baby Hybrids (hybrids with stock nozzles) with a stock turbo and fuel pump.

I'd suggest you add an IC to your list of mods...it will drop the restriction, (the stock manifold is VERY restrictive), and help keep the EGT's in check, as well as making more USEABLE power. It will also help the turbo live...

rebuild your turbo
good intake setup
exhaust mods
stage I injectors
Intercooler
TS chip W/custom tunes (I use TW tunes)

this should give you 375 on the ground and it should live.

you can help yourself quite a bit if you do decide to go E-Fuel tho, because the stock fuel system is a nightmare of complexity and it's all piled right on top of the engine where you may need to work on other things....lot better with E-Fuel, getting rid of the CRAPOLA on top of the engine...I did it as much for that as anything else.....try changing the stock fuel pump sometime yourself, you'll see exactly what I mean, not something you want to try alongside the road somewheres.......
