Exclamation Help me please and quick

Ha, Ha, JK......I want to know the cheapest way to add horse power, better the exhaust, better the air intake, and the fuel injection system. I don't want to overload my tranny, or torque converter though, they're stock (I think). But there was a receipt in the glove box from AAMCO. It says "aamco banner reconditioned original transmission with an exchanged rebuilt torque converter". It had a 12,000 mile warranty on it (but that was 15,000 miles ago) This is a good thing right? It also says the transmission is an A518? Does anybody know anything about this tranny? I know the previous owner did some towing with it. It has a Tekonsha Voyager brake controler installed, and a fifth wheel. There is a 4'' end welded to the end of the exhaust?? It only goes back a foot or so. Does this do anything? The engine itself is in great shape. He the previous owner took very good care of it. He installed a prime loc remote fuel filter, which should be nice for the straight vegetable oil conversion I plan to do. Any info about my truck would be greatly appreciated. I am new to diesels but have lots of free time to study, so bring it on you can't get too tech for me Gear ratios??? laughable mane. JK please do send me some relevant info guys.

Thanks, John

Then don't do anything! But seriously, if you don't intend to at least upgrade the torque converter and maybe a shift kit, you are probably asking for trouble with any power mods, unless you take it real easy.
