buddy coming from a auto guy if i was you before i do injectors or a bigger chip or programmer i would do some up grades to your trans. it sucks having all that power but nothing to get it to the wheels. it happened to me but now i have a trans that will handle anything i throw at it. just some ideas for ya.

Save up an do a tranny or you will regret it later, the breather can is the oil catch can located on the front cover directly in from of the vp44. This can catches oil blow by and distributes it into a oil catch can. You can do this https://www.dieselbombers.com/5-9l-2...vent-bomb.html or u can just cut the zip on the catch can and run an oil line down the front plate behind the truck. A good set of gauges, trans, egt, fuel pressure and a nice transmission rebuild.... than worry about bigger sticks, turbo etc
