The next step to take
I was wondering what would be the next and most logical step to take towards more power. I just moved my plate all the way forward and my EGT are ok in this ambient temprature. I would realy like to get a little over 300hp, without bringing my highway fuel MPG down to bad.
What would the next thing be? Am I on the edge of needing to upgrade the turbo if I add more fuel?

You should already be to 300 hp... Or very close. If you are mainly trying to pass 300 so you can say you have, put it on the rollers, and see where you are. With a set of 181 DVs you shoul be comfortably past 300.
(I'm not saying there is anything wrong with wanting to pass a certian barrier, I presonally want over 1k tq...

I would like to have fairly equal hp (or a little better
) than the new trucks have... especaly the 6L Power Stroke 
that my friend brags up.
DV's will simply give more fuel flow out of the pump correct? Will the duration of the injection time be increased?
