Re:Turning Up a 12 V

if its the company truck I wouldn't recommend sliding the plate without the addition of guages as well as informing all persons driving this vehicle to watch the EGT guage. I wouldn't want to be held personally responsible either.<br><br>Personally Jamie I'd leave it alone since it ain't mine!

I'd try to get along with just some AFC adjustment<br>And I would assure not to be held responsible if something breaks ;D<br>An EGT would be a nice addition. <br>AlpineRAM

Re:Turning Up a 12 V

Set the timing to correct specs first and then you can slid the plate a little W/O gauges but is best to have them.<br>If truck isn't carrying a big load you could get by with this but if loaded heavy you really need the guages if done. <br><br><br> : Eddie : 8)

Re:Turning Up a 12 V

Ill agree with bul. Make sure you get the timing set right as well as getting your valves run. If you just turn it up you could increase any effects of valve lash . I would also go with at least a pyro.<br> Good luck <br> Wheels
