Modded 17° HPOP from Joey at Terminator Engineering, then injector/turbo upgrades to suit your fancy.

Do you have an auto or manual transmission? What are your goals for the truck?

Not really any cheap mods, you've done all those. Now your looking at like Chase said, HPOP, electric fuel and intercooler, those are all supporting mods for bigger injectors and bigger turbo. But not really much else you can do without upgrading injectors for more power.

TC lockup, trans cooler, FPR shim(if needed), 140v IDM. Not necessarily power mods. And adding much more power than what you've got on a stock tranny without a better cooler and you'll be spending the money on a new tranny anyway.

4.10s if you don't have them. And you're just in luck because I have some in good shape in my garage. Got em for a Dana 50 too if you're 4x4...

Why are injectors so much? $3000 is what I paid for the truck. Time to save money or sell a toy.

Dont buy new injectors, Here is a good site to look into injectors. Rosewood Diesel Shop Jim is a sponsor of the site and he will rebuild your cores for way cheaper than new.

Thanks for the link. $500 for stage 1's I can handle that. But I have to upgrade the fuel system also or I won't get anything out of the injectors, correct?
