Delivery valves fuel lots for cheap. Another turbo would be ideal but that kinda interferes with you not wanting to break the bank.

If you use the search feature on this forum you can answer your own questions more often then not. Here are some of my favorite links though they are from different forums. I found them by researching how to get the easy power 12 valves are capable of. You really need a pyro if you do these mods to your truck because its going to get the egts hot.

12 Valve AFC Mod's - New England Turbo Diesel Power

This one shows pics how too mods the afc-
afc mods (lots of pics) - DieselRam.com

The next mod requires a fuel pressure gauge-

How to modify the overflow valve OFV - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together

Most of my searches brought me too DB and that's why I joined but the links above will make you some more power. The 4 thousand rpm govenor spring kit will really wake your truck up. If you shop around you can get a kit for less than 100.00 and it will be the best bang for your dollar. Turned my truck from turd into a tire burner. There are a few other pump mods as well but you better get gauges.

Depends on your bank account but your best bet would be injectors with a correct spray angle and an S300.

i say 042 DVs, they're told to be super clean but make big horsepower, not much rise in EGT...

Tune your AFC, and advance timing a bit more...
