If I were u I would do a lot more to the pump because it's free power and pretty easy to do. there's some good write ups on here of various pump mods. but if you're itching to spend some money then i'd say get a 4k governor spring kit and some valve springs.

towards the motor is more power turned mine and i saw a diffrence u can turn it as much as u want till u find the right setting but the more u turn it the worse milage u get BUT i would not turn it more than a 1/4 turn WITHOUT an egt gauge cause it does run a little hot especiallly if your pulling something

Yep and after all the afore mentioned mods some stage 2 injectors will work wonders for ya! Even giving you better gas mileage once the excitement wears off and you can keep your foot out of it!

First and foremost, make sure your lift pump is up to the task.............
None of those mods will be worth a hill of beans if your LP takes a dive and takes your IP with it...........know whatamean?
