Default What's first?

Hey all. I have a 96 PSD with the 5 spd. I just bought the truck and it's my first diesel. It's been completely stock for it's whole life except for they guy put a K&N air filter (coming off ASAP!). I was just wondering what you stroker experts would suggest doing first to help it run a little better???

Thanks in advance for any advice!

prolly best place to start is an intake, then downpipe and exhaust!

also there is a spring up by the fuel bowl you can shim with a BB easy fast trick

BB will give the throttle a little more response, cheap easy trick
