If you are indeed making 350 horsepower, assuming a BSFC of 0.5, this calculator (Fuel Injector Calculator from WitchHunter Performance) gives a size of approximately 25 lb/hr. The most cost-effective way to increase the fuel flow capacity for your truck would be to get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and increase the pressure slightly, since the difference between what you have now and what a cheesy online calculator says is quite small. I believe the next size up on Ford Bosch injectors is 30 lb/hr, which would likely be too much for the stock computer to adjust for.

You can't just plug in larger injectors, the computer has to be reprogrammed for them. 27lb/hr squirters are what's required to supply 350hp reliably,(80% dutycycle or less), but the 24's can be stretched with a higher fuel pressure as Eric suggested. This is the best option right now since the computer in your truck is not programmable and would have to be changed.
