stack chips, exhaust, intake, turbo, water injection, injectors. that should be enough. i assume you are referring to a 1998.5-2002 24 valve no the '04 you have listed  


1996 Ram 2500 reg. cab longbox, #6 plate, 191 Deliver valves, 60 hp injectors, star wheel turned up a lot, AFE Stage 2 intake into a Phat Shaft 62 wastgate set at 40 psi, 4" straight pipe, Auto Meter Gauges, ATS tranny and TC (unfortunately), Dick Cepek FC-II A/T 265 LR16 (good tires). FS-2500 Bypass Filter. The only hands that work on my truck are my own.

or you can just copy a setup from a proven truck, maybe one from the pages of this magazine.  but like black smoker said, its all about the air/fuel you can stuff into it.  personally, heres what id do if i had the money

150 horse injectors(or more)
hotrod vp 44 injection pump(or dual CP3s on an 04)
S&B cold air intake
CFM+ intake
banks aftermarket intercooler
edge drag comp stacked with maybe a predator or simliar program
Snow performace Stage 3 water methanol
BD super twin turbos or a custom set up
head studs, fire ringed, ported and polished heads, etc

of course then theres the little stuff like lift pump, turbo boots, etc that would be required.  with this setup, my guess is you should easily hit 500 horses if not exceed that mark  


1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Cummins 24 valve, 5spd with south bend 550hp+ clutch, 150 horse injectors, Fram Boost intake(for now), Edge Juice with attitude, 150 gph fass fuel pump and much more, all together 450 dyno proven HP and 1170 ft lbs.
