pros are more power and more boost in you dont get out of hand with the size you will get more mpg cons are higher egts i am sure some one with more knowage on these engines will be more help but i will say this i love my 90 ddp injectors i did get about 1.5mpg more out of them just dont get to heavy on the little pedal

yes i would recomend that highly do you have a bad injetor or are you just upgradeing i didnt see if you had any fuel plate mods if you havent done any thing with your fuel plate i would start there and if you need more after that then do injectors i did my injetor because i had two bad ones when i bought the truck and i have plane to do more with it hope that helps
