I've got an early 99 that has great gitty-up. I have same mods plus sonnax valve and springs(best 50 bucks you can spend on the truck) plus 18k mod with boost tube and relief valve( $109 from black cloud diesel) 18k gives great extra kick when needed.

I would recommend some type of ICP Mod, like a 10K, 18K, or I got a SP Diesel Stage 1. This mod works very well with the SCMT and is much cheaper than buying a new chip or programmer.
