Looking to get 500-600hp out of new truck

I am in the process of buying and building a new truck. Looking at either an 06' or 07' 5.9. I want to be in the 500-600hp range and have a few questions as I am unfamiliar with the Gen 3's. I think I am going with twins, DTT tranny, smarty, modified CP3 and either injectors or stacking a TST. Like I said, I am really unfamiliar with the new 5.9 and all the goodies so my question is, does this seem like a good route to go to accomplish my goal? Is there better boxes to stack or injectors that work much better than others? Also, what kind of fuel mileage loss/gain should I expect to see and is there a cut off point(ie-500hp. vs 550hp. vs 600hp) where mileage and drivability really start to drop off or is there a point when the cost of making the power really rises? Obviosuly I will run all the gauges, exhaust, intake, and fuel mods I need to accomodate the power. Thanks in advance!
