Yes I still have a fuel plate to work with. And also, I'm not sure. I know they're DDP and they're supposed to give you 20% more HP and less EGT/smoke when compared to 191's.

they are prolly .024's? they are just a bit bigger than 191's. they will fuel... you will get the EGT's and smoke still. i would advise getting into the habbit of knowing exactly what your buying. hard on the wallet sometimes. i think you will be happy with your set-up though. maybe a bit laggy witht he special but not horrible specially if you dont tow or anything. should be able to tune a pretty nasty DD out of it.

and as for what to do next your getting close to the end of a budget truck. next steps start to get pricey

If you go anymore than that you may want to think about head studs.... actually even if you dont its good insurance
