So the question is, should I get offered the job, how can I go about upping my salary request? Any success stories doing this?

By the way, this is another reason a recruiter is of value, as they often handle these things and can advise accordingly. Did you not know the range going in? If not then how did you know you could get $10K more?

Anyway, if you're stuck at that figure then ask them how soon you would be eligible for a review/raise. Maybe they can move it up to 3-6 months from a year or wherever it is today. There is nothing wrong with asking for this.
