you cant tell exactly how many hp you have just by listing what done. but around lower 200's or so probably. dont get glowshift gauges dont waste your money. spend 75 bucks more and get quality gauges that will last years and years. and dont waste the money on the pod injectors either. for roughly the same money you can get a quality injector set from sdx or someone else. theyll run cooler and better wihtout being super smokey (resulting in high egts)

If your 1991.5 truck is not intercooled, then you're most likely running the 9mm bodied fuel injectors (1991.5 ~ 1993 run 7mm injector bodies). As such, they're capable of 300HP+ easily. If you don't plan on more power, they will serve you well.

PODs are only slightly larger than your stock/OEM injectors. Not worth the money.

An HX40 should suit 300HP well (or an HX35/Hybrid or similar).

Just my 2cts.

waaaaaaay overkill IMO. my 5x.014's are more than big enough, and your hx35 will kill you with those in there. even with my hx40 theyre still pretty nasty, thats why i got a phat shaft II on the way and selling my hx40.

5x.014's on an hx40= good match

5x.016's on an hx35 = problems and super high egts

i have heard and seen (personnaly) numerous failures with glowshift gauges as well as some of them being off by uo to 4 or 500 degrees on their pyrometers. they seem to be all or nothing you either get lucky with zero problems or you get all sorts of problems. no matte rhow you look at it theyre not autometers or isspros. you get what you pay for especially with electronics, theres a reason why glowshift sells theyre gauges for cheaper
