first thing to do would be an EGT gauge and a boost gauge then you could turn the pump up a bit but don't overdue it you will definitely blow it up,watch your boost pressures also,head gasket are cheap and fairly easy to change but not when you need to be somewhere ,here is a link to turn it up,not my info but found it on here Low buck diesel power | turn up your fuel rate for free, or almost

There's videos on youtube on how to do it too. I added those a couple months ago, links are on the Low Buck page.
Adjust the fuel screw and run 19* of timing, then you'll like it a lot better!

Sort of, it pops up every time I make a post also. It's my little hobby, so I add info where I can.
