The 3,000 should do you fine i have that one. But,i would recomend an egt gauge if you don't already have one installed before you increase the fueling more.And has your killer dowel pin been dealt with?

don't feel stupid. The egt gauge is a temp gauge that keeps an eye on the motors temp.It's actually different than the water temp gauge on the dash ,basily its a pyro gauge.

There's alot of stuff in the cummins tech article section for the 12valve.
