94 F150 Tow Rig

I already got some good input on improving the Aero of my tow rig, now I'm looking for some input on getting it better suited for towing.

Getting a different pickup might be an option, but for now let's pretend it's not.

I have a 94 F150 with the 302, 5-speed, and 3.55 rear gears. It has oversized (31") tires, and I plan to get back to the factory 235/75/15 here shortly. What I want to do is squeeze another 5-10 ft-lbs out of it, or somehow shift the torque curve down. I thought about a new cam but it seems pretty involved. I've read both ways on headers: some say shorties are best for low end torque, and others have said long-tube headers are better.

I don't really want to do an axle swap, and would prefer to keep this pretty low budget. Thanks for any input.
