Camshaft and cylinder head work maybe?

I really like the colour of your FG. You don't see too many FG Falcons in Mount Isa.
I would turbo it before doing that, big $$$'s for little gain. The FG cams and head are a good setup from factory, not much in the way of a gain compared to a B series.

Up the comp. Dunno what it is stock but shave the heads and maybe some high comp pistons. To me thats your biggest gain to be had.

Only one head.
Comp is 10.3 from memory standard, wouldn't want to go too much higher for a daily.

Yeah good point. I was thinking 11 to 1 is the highest you'd want to go for a daily and if its already 10.3 i guess there's not much point.

Forced Induction Time!!

I agree, getting close to forced induction time now.

I would think high 200's to 300rwkw would be possible safely on a high comp setup. E85 available near you?

Nope, best i gots is 98 :)

The turbo models have a thicker headgasket, everything else is mostly the same. I SHOULD be able to lower the compression with that :)

Will help, pistons and rods are different tho.
Need an intake manifold, exhaust manifold, dump, cooler, pipes, fuel pump, injectors, etc

I'll use the NA intake manifold for a change (Will just need to get creative with the piping). Obviously need the exhaust/turbo/dump. Straight to an aftermarket cooler, and a turboside intake. Also oil feeds etc.

Might need a turbo sump too? To save drilling oil feeds.

I'm officially off the P's in November, so i'll use the time to save my dollars. Things are gonna slow right down now that i've bought a house lol

So how much did you make and more importantly gain from your base with the dyno tune?
