Lots of ways to get that and it gets discussed all over this site on a nearly daily basis so start reading.
Which means more horespower. See answer above.
OK here's the dirt. Forget about achieving 80mph at 1500rpm that is just not gonna happen, even when built up this motor should be turning about 2500rpm at that speed otherwise it will be totally under geared for towing. So no you can't have your cake and eat it too, you could get those results with a new diesel truck but those don't deliver super high fuel milage while towing either, so I don't know if it would be worth the cost for you.

Couldn't a higher stall speed torque converter be a non-engine way to get more torque / power? Any time the torque converter clutch isn't locked up you'd have higher engine speed, which would likely move you up the torque and power curves. But when the TCC locked up you'd be back where you started, so at least it wouldn't make the engine run faster at higher speeds.
Of course you never get something for nothing. I'd expect more heat meaning more fuel during acceleration. And it'd make a good cooler all the more important.
