More power?

I have been reading around here and am seeing some upgrades to the 7.3 non turbo diesel,what else besides the intake and exhaust can I do for any more power? I did a k&n and a 3" exhaust already,I am going to do something with the stock snokel tube tomorrow.I am not looking for a serious hp gain but I just want to know I got all I can get from my truck,I am new to the diesel thing,thanks,Tim

get a pyro. mount the probe as close as you can to the head. and see how hot its getting and notice the smoke if you're pulling a load and get as much air in and out of that motor as fast as you can. without burnning holes in the pistons (which start melting around 1200 degree f) totally liquid at 1400 degrees f
