you can get a 1997 and up airbox that will provide the engine with a lot more cold air than your "perfromance" air filter. you can get a reprogrammed pcm from heath diesel, walking j designs or kennedy diesel. stay away from ss diesel supply. does your truck have a 4 inch starit pipe because they will flow a lot more than just the stock exhaust with the muffler and soot trap cut off.

bigger injectors won't do a thing the IP only going to put so much fuel
and if you want to run 15psi boost you going want to run 4" exhaust reflash puter and if don't puter will defuel you between 8 and psi also for more power get IP time to -1.94 and do OS bump but make sure you have boost and egt gauges

x2 if you get injectors dont get anything else beside genuine bosch or they might start leaking. have a injection shop set the pop pressure to 2100-2200 psi and make sure there they are all the same pressure
