Default amen ive been converted praise dodge

Iwas pro Ford for years hell i still have a pair of matching deisel superduty's and a mustang (all 4 sale)
But i will tell you my silver 97 3500 dually 4x4 regular cab slt with the monster 8.0 v10 pulls 27000lbs(maxed gvw) for what i'm presently licensed for like nobodys business.
pulling a 30' goose tri-axle with 4 cars on (2 stacks of 2 bottom ones are flattened) I especially like walking all over the chevys that think they can keep up. She's bone stock i've been reading alot about this monster motor changed the location of 5&7 plug wires and bought some headers off E-Bay cold air intake is next when the headers show up I get my gas for free (from the crushed cars) so don't care about gas mileagei thought i wanted a cummins but i couldn't be happier with this truck with or without the trailer she works hard and plays hard
i wouldn't trade it for anything....
What can i do to increase performance without hurting longevity or pulling capability like it doesn't already have lots lol..

So after the headers,cold air intake, would a cam and lifters be in order???
from what i understand the computer upgrade hurts towing capability???
what kind of gains should i expect from the headers and cold air intake(haven't arrived yet getting impatient)
Is there a computer available that can easily turned on and off at the end of the work day so the drive home is a little more interesting.,,,, roasting those duallys from the lights is my kind ofride home!!!!!!!!!!
Ive been to a few muffler shops and they all say the same thing dual exhaust is a mistake (sounds wrong) so whats out there for performance two in, two out mufflers?????
thanks for your opinion
