Morning T welcome to the site :welcome2:

Since you are new to the 6.5 spend the next week in the 6.5 stickies FAQ 90% of need to know stuff is there including how to hop one up some; as is with all +Hp related endeavours, how deep is you wallet? Hp costs $$$ & engine life if you push to hard.

Also read welcome note in my signature & info also there how to update yours.

{sigh} Oy.... number 8421 with the same question....

There is no 'screw' to 'turn up' on a 94 or newer.

Exhaust, gauges, chip, boost controller, 97 cooling, optic bump (at your risk), possibly an ATA intercooler.

Search for each of those terms on this board. You will find more answers than you could eat in a day.

PS, 'making her smoke' is a horribly bad thing to do on these engines. You can 'make her smoke' by overfueling, but then you will be 'making her smoke' due to the oil leaving via the enormous hole in the tops of your pistons. I can show you the $5500 cancelled check I had to write due to 'making her smoke'
