Bump your timming up If you havent already. Its really easy when the cover is off and injection pump drive gear is easy to get to. You gotta have a timming kit and a DV socket in order to do it though.

I dont have the timing tools. Is there a mod with the banjo bolt? Since I think I have it out to get to the nuts on the injection pump.

Truck is bone stock with 218,000 miles. Just looking for a little more hp, nothing major.

makes your truck run extremely smooth and reduces the wear and tear.

BTW you can pick up timming kits for a couple hundred bucks on EBAY. Its a nice thing to have you would be suprised how far off your stock timming might be.
