Highest HP with Plate?

[DieselDunn]

Doing the transmission upgrade now. My question is how much power can I get by moving to the next plate, without changing the injectors and the pump.

I heard 275 I can get with replacing the plate. Anybody have any suggestions in upgrading the power. I'm looking for 300 in the end but want to do some easy power upgrade like 275 with just a plate change now.

Look forward to the responses

A # 5 Plate and the 16 CM2 housing should put you realy close to your goal.

DieselDunn,
I thought I read the 285 plate(TST)and after 300 hp you needed to upgrade other components to reduce EGTs.
From what have read 275/285 palte(which ever it is) with the 350/370 injectors would put you over the 300 range.
After 300 new exhaust housing on turbo or new turbo, customizing exhaust later improved air intake system (usually 400 range).
