Eliminate the emissions control garbage, if it has any, a 93 might have a soot trap. May have EGR.
Run a big exhaust, that doesn't hinder aerodynamics.
Big cold air intake with big air filter.
If it's going to be used on the highway mostly put the biggest turbo you can find on there.
The old 7L pickups had a small restrictive turbo for highway towing imo.

Then look at tractor trailers for aero mods.
Side skirt, moon hubs on the back, a boat tail if possible and a roof spoiler or something so that the air going over the cab doesn't ram straight into a flat wall.
