Default Looking to make 600hp or enough to handle stock tranny

1GTR1VE02CZ196128
2012 GMC Sierra 1500 SL
5.3l LMG
K&N Cold Air Intake
Long tube headers
4:10 Gear Differential
35in tires
rough shifting points
on 91 Octane Tuned
RWHP: 336hp
Budget is under $5,000. Does anyone have a recommendation on Camshaft, Cylinder Heads, Fuel Injectors, Intake Manifold, Nitrous, Turbo setup to get me right off the line quick? Without destroying my internals and tranny. 😅

On3 and Huron Speed both sell turbo kits far below your budget.

Okay. I do want a long choppy camshaft for sure, but not sure what’s a good spec with a single turbo making 600 RWHP

600 HP to the stock trans? I'd say save part of that budget for a new trans/rear diff. It'll only be a matter of time. I destroyed my stock Tahoe rear end with the power the factory gave it.

He has the 6L80e. It can handle 600 HP.
