617 tune for smooth running as it was designed

The 85SD is slow the 84SD has a little shake at idle. I'm contemplating strategy for when the weather breaks.

So:
Change fuel filters (done)
Make sure strainer is clean (done)
Adjust valves (both cars were done in the fall)
Check timing chain stretch (not done lately)
Check timing (not done)
Clean, pop injectors, perhaps new nozzles
Adjust Rack Damper, replace as needed
Check/Adjust boost

What else?
