How much are you able to do yourself? The 5.9 has a LOT of untapped power. The summbiotch was actually de-tuned at the factory by Dodge, which is why the gains are very substantial with a tuner.

If it's within your capabilities, that engine is a really great candidate for a stroker kit and they are not terribly expensive for it, even balanced kits aren't much over $2000...
