STOCK 96 3500 needs some more go

A friend of mine has a 96 3500 Auto(lol) and was wondering what can be done to increase the hill pulling power and not anger the tranny any. He pulls a 30' 5th wheel.

Can the stock plate be slid forward and the AFC tweeked a little?? If so how is this done? Or is it best to just buy a plate to get an HP gain instead of jacking with the stock stuff? He just had the pump timing checked and had a "tune up" done on it so the truck is in good running order as it is. I tried to get him to add a VP44 and 12 more valves but no luck

TIA
