Im going to have a little extra spending cash this summer so I think Ill take this opportunity to hop up the tow rig. Its a 97 ram 3500 with a 12V CTD. Right now its got a four inch exhaust, a #6 fuel plate slip forward, the pump turned up, and 370 injectors. The trans has an ATS torque converter and a valve body upgrade in it. Ive already got a 3K gsk set for it thats going to get installed probobly next week. Its also got egt and boost gauges.

So what should I do next? Is there an ideal pump setting that I shoud try to set it to? I know advancing the timing is good for more power and lower egts, but how much should I andvance it? Ive also heard that there is a company that sell an upgrade for my current turbo but Ive never seen one for sale, any ideas? What have yall done wih your diesels that you have been satisfied with?
I know im asking a lot of questions but the hole world of diesel performance is entirely new to me. Thanks in advance for all your help.
