There's not much for power on the 6.2/6.5 that you can really do. For the 6.2 the biggest thing you can do is add a turbo and turn up the fuel pump. Not really much else you can do.

As for the starting off issue, your clutch might be wearing out or it simply doesn't have enough power to start outside of the granny. 6.2s only have around 130 hp and 250 or so ft/lbs of torque, not really sufficient for a 3/4 ton pickup. Does it jump and shake when you use the granny?

Oil on the clutch can do this.

Check your carrier bearing, your drive shaft might be hopping around.
