You need the following:

Headers (I have Kleemann)
Renntech Carbon Fiber AirBox
Hi flow 200 cel secondary cats
ECU Tune

...and that may still not give you 50hp

Hi flow 300 cel primary cats (or delete them and get an ecu tune to take care of the cel), high flow or delete secondary cats ....

Agree. I have AMS short tube headers, stock primary cats, 200-cell secondary cats, filters, lightened pulley, then on-the-dyno software tuning. Make sure the ecu tuning is the last step. Really unlocks the engine's potential.

These mods are the proven ones to make power for our natrually-aspirated 5.5L engines. Great recommendations.

By adding these, we can surely increase the HP?

You'll get some, I don't know if it will be 50 but I would say certainly 30hp/tq to the crank would be reasonable...

Headers
High Flow Primary Cats
Secondary Cat Delete
Intake
Tune
and pulley, if you really really want it (last mod I'd do IMO)

those are your power mods

The AMS stage 3+ setup w/ high flow 2nd cats will get you there no problem. Ala F1 is correct, save software till the end, do all the hardware mods first. The bulk of the power is made by headers & pulley. 2nd cats & software tune finish off the entire package.

Hope that helps.
