A few questions about adding more power.

All my mods are in sig below. I would like to get my truck into the mid 13's. I'm sure I could get it into the upper 14's as it sits.

I know I need a turbo, but what else will get me to the upper 400 to low 500 hp bracket? Also at which stage of mods should I get a ported head? I've come from a 24 valve to twelve valve. Now I need to learn. This is a daily driver and will not tow anything.

One last ? What size housing is on my turbo? It is stock.

Thanks Ken
