1st Gen power upgrades

Hello and happy holidays to all. I've kind of caught the BOMBing bug, and using alot of info from TDR members have made the following upgrades so far. 3.5" exhaust, Full gauges, amsoil oil and air filter, -the pump settings are stock so far. I also have a set of PW injectors that I haven't installed yet. My question is this, I've read several times on this board that to get the most benefit from these injectors that you have to have the injector pump timing changed/advanced. I'm confident I can do the injector install myself, but if the pump timing and/or engine timing needs to be changed, I may have a shop do it all at once. Also, I will be servicing the tranny soon and was curious if any of you have turned up the line pressures? How much did you adjust and how do you like it? FWIW my truck runs very well now, and I'm after reliable upgrades to increase driving fun and towing performance. Any opinions would be welcome. Thanks.

PS- Is my truck still under warranty w/77k miles?
