Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Is #0 worth it and AFC Adjustment

[DPashko]

Now i got a #4 plate in stock positon and light AFC spring. My EGT's are through the roof and goes like MUTHA! Is there much gain going to a #0 and adjusting the AFC? Will there be just higher EGT's or better low end spool up? Not sure where AFC should be adjusted to get full rack travel. Should i just move my #4 forward? check truck profile for rest of mods.

If your EGTs are a problem right now, throwing more fuel at the engine won't be a good idea without more air.

A #10 or #100 would be better, if you can make sure the nose of the lever arm 1st hits the bottom ramp of the plate. That'll keep the fuel down & EGT down @ low RPM. The single turbo just couldn't shed the "early on" EGT.



I was looking for a solution, had some ideas and talked to some folks that build plates. They all agreed with the concept & solution ... Joe D stepped up to the plate, built it & named it The 1st #100 plate is still in my pump.

Just looked @ the date of that post. It was THAT long ago? :-laf

On the top end the #4 plate fuels more than the #0. The deepest part of the #4 is deeper than the #0.
