1989 CTD, strongly considering to buy

I drove this truck the other day. 89 dump truck w/38,000 miles. Truck is all that. Immaculate. My question, my first impression was that is was a slug. Or am I just use to my 01 with all the techno advances etc etc. With the "investment" of injectors, trans work, etc etc....can I get this to be not the slug that it is? It is a HD truck and not designed to go zero to sixty in 8 seconds but I do want a quicker truck. Something out of the ordinary....a sleeper.

Thanks...suggestions to BOM?

It is not difficult to boost up the power on an 89. They are reliable trucks, but not as quick as the P7100's
