What are you going to use your truck for? Mods will be dependant on needs. Simplest upgrade next would be the boost valve.

1. PPE boost valve
2. Exhaust
3. Tranny
4. Bigger programmer/tuner/module/EFI Live/HP tuner
5. Lift pump/s

and so on.......

Get some exaust and the ppe boost valve and if that don't cure your addiction then sell that Hypertech and get a PPE programmer or EFI live and a built tranny and you'll probably be one of the most happiest to pull around those mowers.:D

Efi live is the best way to get power out of these trucks

Go with 4" turbo back. All of them are good. Many choose MBRP, Banks, etc. I chose BullyDog and swapped the 30" BullyDog muffler to a 16.5" Dynomax race muffler. Whatever you choose go with a turbo back/downpipe back system.

You can also remove muff and cat from stocker. You wont get as much drop in egt as a larger system.
