I think I have a #8 TST fuel plate on now. What is the difference and which is best? I know most folks run a #10, but how are they rated? I am trying to get a handle on the fuel plates and adjustments on the P7100.
Thanks

The ratings are more of a guideline, with the plate in stock position. They can be slid forward for more power. You are basically changing to a different profile (fueling curve).

The #10 has a half-moon type of profile. Haven't seen a #8 to know what it looks like. The #10 is a little more "tow freindly". It fuels lighter on the bottom and about the same on the top, to help control EGTs.

Thanks, I haven't seen that chart before. I looked at TST's website but couldn't really figure out how the rating system worked. So what is a 100 plate? I have heard mention of a #100. Where does that fit in?

The #100 is a cross between the #10 and #0 plates. The bottom ramp is the same as the #10, but the top ramp is ground flat like a #0 plate. Doesn't defuel on top, like the #10 does.

If you want to have #100, you'll need to grind it yourself.

The TST chart used to have all the info that the Peirs chart has, but they changed it a year or two ago. Don't know why.

A #10 has two ramps (half moon shaped) one on the bottom one on the top. In a custom #100 grind there is no top ramp for de-fueling, look in my photo gallery, I've got a #100 ground polished and ready to ship just require a stock plate in exchange and you pay to & from freight.

That works, too. I noticed that in your sig a while back, but couldn't remember who it was. So I didn't mention it.

If you see it in my sig then I've got one ready to go, usually
