Default Need ideas for a light build.

Hey guys so I want to know what some good options would be for a light built on my truck. Whats done to my truck is in my signature, and i'm looking to get a little bit more out of it. First off to build a reliable tranny to hold a bit more power i've read its possible to just add a different valve body and a performance TC? Also what do you recommend for hp upgrades, I was thinking stock 215 injectors, a boost elbow, 3200gsk, and some afc tuning which I haven't ventured into it. What do you guys think? I'm only looking for a little bit more. Sorry for my noob questions I'm just getting into the diesel thing haha.

Sounds like a good start. I would do the trans first, a torque converter and valve body is a good start. Boost elbow and gsk would be a good next step with some afc tuning. As far as injectors go, I'd do the other things first and see how you like it, then figure out what injectors you want from there. You might decide you want more than a stock 215. Any concrete goals you're aiming for?
