you have gauges, you might as well grind ur stock plate to a #10 or #100, u'll be very happy. Do a search for "free 12v mods" "fuel plate" or "grind Fuel plate" and there should be hours of reading on how to do it. And after you grind it, u can move it forward however far u like it. you can move the stock plate forward, but to get more fueling u should grind it. And also moved ur AFC forward if u want alittle more preboost power and smoke. Search for "slide AFC" and u'll find lots on it. And once u get the free mods done, theres LOTS more to do if u got alittle money.

yes.... sort of. the stock fuel plate can be slid forward(towards front of motor) for more power, but only a small amount more of power can be had with the stock plate, cheapest thing to do is grind your own plate, by taking the stock one and grinding it down so the arm that makes contact with it will travel further. there is a post on here of fuel plate profiles that you can look at, im not sure where its at though, just use the search and you'll find it.

Bumping the fuel plate will give you all of those things but you shouldn't look to creating more smoke as a good thing. We accept more smoke if it gives us more power but it's not preferred. The more our trucks smoke the harder the enviro nuts push to restrict us.
Also when you increase fuel you need to increase airflow and it's a good idea to know what your exhaust temp is doing. Extra fuel means extra heat.

If ur trans is in good shape now, a upgraded Torque Converter and Valve body say from Goerand, DTT, or another quality brand would do wonders for u. You'll think it's a whole different truck, and it should be good for some decent hp/tq.

If your egt probe is after the turbo, 900 is pushing the limit.
