I thought there was a #5 TST plate in my son's truck when I bought it from him. I added a 4" turbo back exhaust kit and an AFE Stage 1 air induction system. I could not get the truck to smoke as much as I would have liked and I thought it ran pretty good. I was getting 27 lbs of boost and could barely get the EGTs to 1100 pulling a 6000# boat.

Well, I called Piers. He recommended I put in a #10 Plate and a 3KGSK. I did. When I pulled the AFC housing, I found a TST #12 plate. Don't know how that got there. BUT, I can vouch for the fact that the #10 and the 3KGSK work VERY well. This truck is honking now. 32# of boost (in a hurry) and as much smoke as I want with the plate only half way forward. If it had run like this when my son had the truck, he probably would have kept it and not bought his 1998 2500 4X4 CTD. This is a fun combination. I don't know how you guys with the really bombed trucks can stand it. All that power and so many Strokes an Duramaxes to embarrass.



This is a great forum and THE Dodge Cummins place to be.
 
well i personally prefer a little hotter plate, but to each their own. I am glad that you are enjoying your new found power. have fun, but be careful. it's highly addictive. nick

That's a bad and good thing at the same time. Hard on the wallet.



POWER! :eek: Oo. Oo. :D



Hope you have a good clutch in there.
 
Most of the time people look at that silly chart and not what people tell them... ... ... a #10 is the best overall production plate.
