Emailed TST and asked them.They said with a 16cm that I should have no problem gettin 350Hps and about 770 torque at the rear wheels, if the clutch could hold it.

They said that I shouldn't have a problem over boostin or high EGTs with the 16cm housin.

The also said that the 180s would be fine that really the 191s would over do it.They also said that I could get a litte more the plaet full foward but it would raise the EGTs alot for just a little more power.

It's still gonna be a little while before I get a truck (I'm not in huge hurry) as I turn 18 in Feb and I think I'll just go get the loan in my name so I'll have some time to save up for the mods.

Ok one more question.I hear about these Hybrid hX35/hx40 turbos, what are they?

When I would move my #11 from full foward to 1/8" back it was like night and day with both EGT's and power. Full foward I would bury the pyro in no time, 1/8" back and I could run it almost WOT up hills on the highway pulling the car and trailer and it would barely get to 1400. Empty I could put it to the wood for a while and only see 1250.

Alright so I got one more question about fuel plates. Why is the #10 so good? On TSTs site it provides less power than the lower numbers. I currently have a #4 in my truck slid forward and I love it. It fuels hard from off idle and pulls all the way till the 3K GSK starts to pull it back. What about a #0 or #100 that I've heard about.

When people say their fuel plate is full forward are they talking about the firewall or the radiator?

Radiator.

DO NOT pay attention to the power #'s that are listed for the plates. They assume the plate is in the stock position. Move a plate forward and it changes everything. Remember, the plate is just a fuel stop. Move it forward and you increase the maximum fuel delivery. A #10 full forward is a monster and it will destroy a stock converter or clutch quickly - it makes that much torque.

Thanks, I put the TST plate on my dad's 98 it's the 605ft/lb I think.

So are you saying that a #10 plate makes more power than the #4 I have now if they are both slid forward? I guess there is no way to tell without buying a #10 and trying it out. The next plate I buy is gonna be a #0 or #100 when I put on my twin turbo kit.

Okay lets throw this up in the air

95 5psd 4:10

Bd Hx 40
# 10 Slid up
370s
cut 181's
Banks twin ram
5 inch straights
AFC Spring
4k gsk
Any thoughts, Before the gsk , 181's,afc spring, and the number 10 it had a number 8 and would easily hit 40+ at about 1100 deg.
What would you think this truck would make on the dyno?
Thanks

Couple things. The #8 out fuels the #10 ... lower #, more fuel. The #8 supplies its fuel @ higher rpm. The #10 just supplies more @ lower rpm than it does @ higher rpm.

If you go to the 4k gov springs, you need beefier valve springs.

Forrest,
I was planning on going with just 3k but they sent 4k instead. I just didnt feel like fighting with putting them in. I got to looking at the post about gunracers Plate, So i orderd a 10 as a back up plate, I'm going to cut the 8 To most likely a 0. 0 Flat all the way accross. Im not sure though, im just playin around with alot of diffrent combos right now. I dont have the money for the head or twins. when i get those im going to a piers stupid pump.
Are you happy with the 100 plate, or would you think 0 would be better?
Any Prefrences?
I would love to put 3.73's under this truck but no money right now!
Thanks for the info !

The reason for the #100 was the #0. I had the #0 in for quite a while, fun plate alright. In the 215 pump, it really makes the drivetrain & cab groan.

The reason I had the #100 designed was to limit the low end fuel. The #0 allows the pump to put out max fuel @ low rpm which raises EGT too much in my case. Rpm just can't get rid of it. Adding that ramp @ the bottom of the #0 lets the fuel ramp up as the rpm goes up ... reduces EGT & I believe increases acceleration. If I had twins, the #0 would be going back in.

Good idea on the stoopid pump. Lots of R & D went into it ... great product.

On the 3:73s ... consider going straight to the 3:54s. Should be able to come by in the junk yard. With the torque that these animals put out, 3:54 works well towing for me. I tow about 7k lbs.

mysterync

I think ill leave the ramp on my old plate and try it, i might go 0 i dont know. Since im running the small pump it might not be as bad as far as egts. But , just as i found out with sliding the 8 up , it would slow acceleration quite a bit. I guess ill just play with it will i get what i want. My 8 Plate is more aggressive than the 10 thats in right now, but all around gives me much less fuel.
I had looked at gear vendors website and seen you could go 3:73 or 3:54. I live in the mtns but it dosent look like ill be towing anyway till i get twins and a head so i probably will go with 3:54. How much would you think i would have to give for a good set put in?
Also, How much power would you think this truck would push set up like this?
Thanks

I assume you mean 16cm w/g for the '40?

All the 16 housings for '35s I've seen are non-wg...
