Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fuel Plate

[CUMMINS01]

Does anybody know what gains there is by moving the stock fuel plate forward?If any. All you here about is a aftermarket one or home made plate.

Use the Search feature under Discussion Forum and you will find tons of info on fuel plates. Also, fill out your signature in the User Control Panel, which is located under Discussion Forum. This will let everyone know what truck you have and any mods. The gains you get from moving your stock plate will depend on which pump you have. Here are some links to get you started:

I'd say sliding it is good for about 40hp depending on which model truck it's in.

Sorry guys my truck is a 97 with 180 pump

Gauges?

I wouldn't do any sliding of the plate till you get some gauges to keep track of exhaust temps. 40 hp more means nothing if you fry your engine or melt a piston.

I have isspro gauges I have the plate about 1/4" forward now and afc housing all the way forward

never had it more than 700 degrees post turbo (1000 pre) and pull 26 foot live stock trailer loaded with fat cattle

can hit 27 psi boost

When I tried sliding my plate forward it only seemed to do like 20 HP, barely any difference.

Matt, could the pump on yours be why it didn't make a big difference in power?



I know it took mine from being trash on the road to passing the trash on the road. .



If my trans was in better condition, I would like to dyno mine to see the actually difference between stock position and slid...

 

[Matthug]

Do you have a 215 pump? The 175 and 180 put out similar numbers for a given plate modification usually.

 

[biggy238]

180 pump for the 96 auto...



I dunno. . I'd like to find out officially what a slid plate is capable of.

Dynoed my 96 180 pump auto at 206 rwhp on a dynojet 248x stock injectors ,stock timing, and no gsk ,stock plate full foward at sea level.
