Plate #8 w/ 370's? What do you think about this combo?

I have a '95, 5 speed. w/ the 230/605 plate (#8), 3,000 GSK,
HD exhaust springs, 4" straight pipe (no cat or muffler) and I'm ready for more. I pull a big hay trailer (GVW of 30K+) occasionally and have all my gauges. For $300 that seems like too good of a deal to pass up. Should I go with the bigger TST plate at the same time (#5) or just stick with what I have now? I REALLY like the way the truck runs now... very driveable, no EGT issues, etc. but like I said, I want to crank her up a little more. Being that it's a stick I'm hoping not to have to screw with delivery valves. Thanks guys!
