Try a 100 full forward that is what I have in mine. I control EGT with my right foot. Make sure you adjust the governor arm so it works properly.

Moving the fuel plate is a good start for a good 40-50 hp bump. Also take into consideration some sort of wastegate control as well. When I first started with moving the plate, I just used a heater hose pincher I got from the parts store to pinch off the line to the wastegate. More fuel without more boost will get you some pretty hot EGT's. That being said, just moving the stock plate will not get you boost numbers over 35 psi that would require the wastegate to be operational.

Secondly, you will have to either adjust the settings of and/or slide the AFC housing forward to get the full benefit of the plate movement. Otherwise it will not allow you to hit the plate and the net gain will feel like zero.

I will suggest gauges. Once on the slippery slope, its just money and time after that!
