I have heard mixed reviews on taking the fuel plate out and not taking it out. I thought that a # 0 fuel plate was the same as just taking it out. I have mine out now and have had it out for a few days seems to be no problems. I just would like some more knowledge. thanks.

 

mine has been out for about 8 months ..drive it hard a lot and given it a lot of abuse...nothing bad happened so far

 

Mine has been out 6 months plus also, Sheid diesel told me it would be fine.

 

All I can say is go to a dyno, and make several runs and see if it actually makes more with the plate out.

I've gotten to do lots of dyno tuning, and I've never see it make more with it out, in fact a plate slid 3/4 of the way forward seems to max from my experience.

 

Leave it in......learn to tune

 

Why keep it in?

 

I have had mine out for about 5 months no problems. I would like to find out the Horsepower and torque difference with the plate in or out!

 

It depends on your setup.....If your Afc foot is stock, pulling your plate wont make any difference.

 

I know each truck is diff, but at a dyno day here a guy with a 12v made 8 more hp with a 0 plate then he did with it out

 

A real 0 plate full foward and no plate are one in the same
