What next

Ok I now have a Transmission to handle the load. I want to get to around 400Hp of very usable power. I refuse to tap the pump wire!!

I rarely tow but want to maintain the capability, after all that is why I bought the truck in the first place. This is my daily driver and family Caravan. I need to be able to turn it over to the wife in an emergency and not worry about EGT's, and no she cannot be trained

I am thinking I need Mach 1.5's or 2's and I will be there. My biggest concern is the turbo. I do not like lag and I do not drag race but I do want good performance when driving in traffic. I puff out a healthy dose of smoke now and the EGT's climb fast but level off at 1100 or so max.
Thanks for the advice
