#0 plate :(

I have a #0 plate in my truck, its in the stock location and Im really not happy with the performance. I was wondering if slidding it full foward would make that big of a difference or should I look for more power in other places?

slide that little mama forward and you should feel the difference. You'll get a bit more smoke, too.

Ok say i slide it forward and install a set of lazer cut DV's and some 370's and a 18.5 turbo housing. What kind of power and EGT's can i expect?

375-400hp if not a little more. (you'll be really short on air)

EGT's will go as high as you want them to.

i know a 160 is difrent from a 215 but there are guys making close to 700 hp on stock dv in a 215. the plate forward and 370's and either stock 215 dv or 191 will still net you more fuel than you can use. For a better driving truck spend the money on 3 or 4k springs it'll feel a lot faster and have a much more versatile rpm range

I am having the same problem with a 94 auto. We did a #0 and move it all the way forward and it will NOT smoke. and loses power and the governor arm is hitting in the correct place. Very Confusing.
