IIRC, stock boost was max at about 19 psi for that year of 7.3, assuming you didn't get surge pulling a hill. I've done some mild mods and have seen close to 28 psi with no surge in TX hill country. But yeah, the trans doesn't have enough gears or cooling so a '6.0' cooler and gages are in order for serious towing.
We may get into a modern truck in the next year or so, just because...

Is there a shift kit available for that transmission? Adding a functional cooler is a no brainer as well as synthetic fluid. IMO

I had a Bank's TransCommand in mine for a while but my buddy that rebuilt the transmission (he's a Ford transmission tech) took it out because he believed it shifted too hard.

I think transgo makes a shift kit but there are other components you can buy separately to tune the shifting firmness.
The shift points/rpms need a chip or programmer to alter. I recommend the hydra chip. Night and day difference and you get up 14 different tunes with various hp/tq levels and shift points.
