yes, u can get more power. more fuel equals more power. however you also need an engine that can support it, both low end and top end. you'll also need a reprogrammed computer to compensate for the increased fuel delivery. what i'm getting at is it isn't as easy as just putting high flow injectors in. you have to match the injector flow to what you want, then match the rest of the engine to the injectors. or vise versa.

Check junkyards to a trashed SD w/ the 10.25
You can dump more gas in the engine, but its not going to do anything but hurt your mileage. Unless you get a programmer to adjust the timing and the air fuel ratio to actually use it.

For the axle, go to a junkyard and see if they have a 8.8. If you use the 10.25, you will need a new driveshaft.
