The FT is seriously under tuned in factory spec. You'll be amazed by the improvement in performance, especially down low, after adjusting the injector pump and compensator along with a few extra psi of boost. If that's not enough for you then the next stop would be upgraded turbo and after that it all depends on budget and performance goals.

Thanks . Any mechanic shops that are familiar with Tuniing Diesel LC’s in the Northeast US. Talk to couple guys in Australia.

No idea, I'm located in Aus also. It's really not that hard to tune it yourself after a bit of reading and using a preturbo EGT and an AFR gauge.

This gets asked regularly. Any shop that's familiar with tuning a 12V Cummins should be able to deal with a HD-FT.

Or, as above, learn to tune it yourself.
