On stock trucks no on your truck maybe. But you have to remember all a 0 adds over a #100 is down low up top they are the same. How much smoke are you making down low? I honestly dont think its going to be enough to notice maybe 10 hp. thats my guess at least.

i would think it would also help lag out of the hole.

When the governor lever is adjusted properly there is reason for the arm to slide under the plate. The only times when the arm slides under is when people do not take the time to adjust the arm after altering the position of the fuel plate or plate profile.

IMO, if your not under WOT full load conditions, there are better plate profiles for tuning that, when chosen properly can help with lag, give more low end,mid range or high end.
Different plates work better between auto vs manual as well. I prefer "softer" bottom end fueling on my auto, just to be a little easier on the trans. I don't have the $$$ for a fully built trans so I'll go easier on what I have... Although some people are looking for that big puff of smoke after they stomp the go pedal, and that's fine...to each their own I guess
