do you have any specific questions? sometime hard to explain the entire process of adding power...
a really handy tool is to download some tunes out of the tune library @ dieselplace.com and use the compare tune function in the tune tool to see what other people have done.
Be careful though only download tunes that have recieved good reviews. Sometimes newbs make a dirty or dangerous tune and post it up without knowing what they r doing.

Whats the main tables i should be looking at for adding some power?
Im guessing PW and timing are my main concern for now, but im not to sure...
If i bump PW width up and use josh's timing calculator for timing adjustments
is there anything else that needs to be adjusted with those tables ?
I know about the limiting tables but those dont seem to be affecting me at this point...
Im not confident enough to be able to look at those tunes and know if there safe to use or compare to

PW, timing, pressure, boost.
increase PW gradually
increase pressure
timing; Josh H's timing V3 calculator is awesome because you can enter cell by cell the % of timing you want.
increase boost a couple of pounds. dont boost above 30-32 PSIG @ sea level.

bb, as you increase those gradually, what do you look at to know when to stop increasing?
