I'd be careful about ANY pump adjustment unless you have a pyrometer. I've personally blown a 3B (dropped precup likely due to overheating) with the injection pump still set up as per factory! Now I have a pyrometer on every truck.
You may get a turbo sooner than you think if you're going to be in the B.C. interior!! It ain't flat like it is out east and going up the hills in third will get real tiring real fast!!
When you get to Kelowna check out the Coquihalla Connector out of Westbank. With the turbo I could pull that hill one gear higher than pre-turbo.
