I just put a new platein my truck, it was a #100. I was going with a 10, but the guy that put it in for me talked me into the 100. The plate that I had in before was a stock plate. I never realized how much power I was missing. He also blocked the wastegate for me, and gave it all to me for 50 bones. I could not believe what a deal I was getting. So what is the next step, have 4" exhaust, and air filter, have 97 sorry, auto. Could use a little coaching.
Thanks

 

Do you have gauges? If not you need them NOW! Also I am assuming the KDP is already tabbed.

I would bump the timing next if I were you. Intake and exhaust if you need the EGT reduction, but they should be fine, I would do them after the timing.

 

I have the EGT gauge. The 4" exhuast and Cold air Intake. So school me on the KDP, what is it and how do i chk and see if it is tabbed?

 

The EGT is the main thing to watch. Boost would be nice since your wastegate is disabled.

The KDP is a dowel pin in the timing case. It can back out, and fall into the timing gears. As you can imagine that is not good. It is not a terribly common occrunce, but it is a major thing it if does happen, as it can destroy the timing case. The fix is to put a tab over it. TST makes a kit to fix it and replace the front crankshaft seal http://www.tstproducts.com/index.asp...PROD&ProdID=64

 

Your auto is going to be very unhappy in a short time. Start saving a few $$$, more than 50, you will need it when the time comes.

 

haha... Way more than 50 bones...

 

Advance the timing, and put a Governor spring kit in it. You will see another huge difference. Your transmission probably wont like ya though

I'll jump on the tranny bandwagon here. Try to resist hard acceleration with the TC locked up in 3rd gear. It's lots of fun, but.......... Been there, done that, got the $4K tranny bill. No T-shirt though.

 

that's funny! It's amazing, if they had thrown in a t-shirt it probably would have felt better! I know it does for me. Why is that?? Maybe we think we're getting something for free? Sorry, don't mean to steal the thread. Yeah, tranny...I know a guy who has gone through 2 of them, stock...ATS and now on 3rd ATS. He also has somewhere around 280,000 miles or something

 

I have a new DTT tranny in it, so the KDP, how do I tab it, or does anyone have a pic of it that i can see so i know where to go and see.. Please that would be great. thanks

 

It is in the timing gear case, it is pretty easy. Basically pull the cover, replace one bolt with a longer bolt and an oblong washer...

TST has instructions here http://www.tstproducts.com/DowelPina.pdf

 

Just wondering why my Auto is going to be very unhappy in a short time? What am I missing let me in on the secret.

 

Nick is right..

as usual, and so is Eric..

listen to their advice and ull be good to go.. Everyone else on here makes valid points as well, so i have nothing more to say but di that KDP

U will sleep better at nite knowin that everytime u bump the key taht lil bugger has NO CHANCE of fallin out..

We didnt know you had a DTT at first(fill your signature out ). You have nothing to worry about if you have a DTT.
