I added a torque plate to my '94 Ram Cummins a few years back (mechanical fuel injection). The 75hp and ~150# torque added increased mileage. A mild increase and a judicious use of the right pedal will yield those typical results. As long as you stay within the torque limits of the auto tranny or clutch, the extra power can be a good thing when you need it. Of course, the Powerstroke may be a different animal.

If power were a bad thing, we'd all be driving (black) Model T's.
