Are the fuel plates out of a 215 pump cut different then the fuels plates on a 95 auto? My friend has a 95 auto that he just got and my other buddy has a stock plate out of a 96 5speed, just wondering if we swapped them around if there would be any difference, thanks

 

anyone got any ideas?? Thanks

 

they are diff. but not worth switching. Maybe cut it to the shape of a 10 plate if you want a nice 50-75 hp or so.


Plate profiles:




Heres a 100 plate I used to run.

 

160 and 215 plates have different profiles, but you won't hardly tell the difference.

You'd be better off using one of those stock plates and grind a new profile on it. I only go with a #6 type cut for 94/95 auto guys with stock tranny's, because anymore than that and the tranny takes a dump fast. Then when the tranny is built, I go with more cut.

 

Thanks guys, maybe we will take that stock 215 plate and try grinding it down, hey jim do you have any plates laying around that you might want to sell? Thanks

 

Mike, only spare Ive got is the 100 pictured above. Im on the prowl myself for one cause Ive got a design in mind to help me with the turbo lag problem when I get on it off the line with the auto in the truck now.

 

Alright, so you put an auto in it huh, how come? My buddy and i are going to take the spare plates that he has over to his fathers work and grind them down and try it out, thanks

 

Faster ET's on the track mostly. That SBC DD just wasnt easy to shift quickly if ya know what im sayin. I liked rowin the gears but now I just let the trans do the work, I guess im gettin lazy in my old age

 

right on, thats cool, what did you do with the 5speed and the clutch? Did you sell them? My buddy made a 0 plate and put that in his truck, quite a drastic improvment over his 8 plate. His EGTs rise just as quick as his boost does. I told him he should slide it back some or get a bigger turbo.

 

Evan (killed300ex) is buying the whole setup and converting his truck to a 5sp.
