what axle gears? taller ratio (numerically lower) might actually help.

Its the 3.55 or what ever. Thought about that but I also pull trailers. (20,000 lb) believe it or not so I'd like to not lug it too much more.

I retract the ratio change suggestion for 20k# towing

What's your fuel pressure like?

I don't exactly but pumps turned up and when its running 30 pounds of boost it will still haze black so its got fuel.
