wanting to make my truck faster

i have a 95 powerstoke with a 5sp 3.55 rearend.
i have put in a 3in downpipe and have got a staight pipe.
i have also got a edge evolution tuner with it set on the 100hp stage.
got boost and pyro gauge. what should they be reading?
my question is what can i do to it to make it faster with the least cost?
injectors are expensive i've heard. will a new turbo do much? what else can i do?

thanks

Propane!

Get in touch with Quadzilla if you want information on propane. He's one of the few I've seen on here that uses it.

Thanks for the introduction, Johnsdiesel....
I'd suggest propane for a power boost. Set correctly, it'll provide an honest 80hp increase on a dyno. Many/most claim that it has improved their mpg, though I've got my system tuned for performance, so rather than a fuel savings, I merely content myself knowing I'm getting where I'm going much sooner. The difference is like night and day.
