I've got a #8 plate, and I want to slide it full forward. It's already as far forward as the guide that came with the plate allows, but the holes on the plate itself have plenty of room left to move. Can I just slide the plate as far forward as I can using the holes in the plate, or do I have to utilize the TST guide? Thanks! -Josh

 

The guide is to keep the plate in there "square" If you shove it forward, you can just max out the holes in both sides to keep it square

Slide that sucker...but make sure to check where the governor arm rides on the plate after you do!

While you're in there go ahead and take the plate out and make a 100 or a 0 out of it My truck had a #8 in it when i bought it but we put a 0 in there and it really woke it up

 

Got guages? My truck ran fairly hot with an 8 plate slid about 1/16".

 

With my #8 plate full forward i never got it over 1300*

 

grind it!

slide it!

give about 1/4in. clearance from the front and have fun!

 

I had no guages with the #8 and a 3K gov kit. It was a real eye opener to see 1400* at the top end of 3rd gear when I finally installed a pyro.

It all boils down to how much of a gambler you are.

 

yeah- got Diprocol Optix gauges. Installing them now too! We slid it some, just to see how much difference it makes, and then we'll go back and make changes. Thanks!

What's the difference between the 10 and 0 plate? I've seen how to grind the 100 from a #10.
