Move plate forward?

Hello, I am wondering what moving the TST plate forward would do. Any more hp? If so what do I do, oh yeah I have a #4.

Move it around 75%-80% of full forward...you'll notice the most HP there...full forward doesn't always mean HP..just more smoke and loss of HP

Re:Move plate forward?

So I am guessing forward is towards the front end of the truck? Do I need to make any adjustments to anything else?

Thanks

Re:Move plate forward?

you can put in a less stiff spring in the AFC housing for better bottom end fueling,and a boost elbow from TST or Piers in the Turbo compressor housing

Re:Move plate forward?

What exactly does moving the plate forward do, is there less contact on the arm and therefore it can move up the plate faster and in turn more fuel? Just kinda curious to know a little more before I do this.

thanks ;D

Re:Move plate forward?

It allows the fuel rack to move forward more allowing more fuel to enter the lines from the injection pump
