Okay so I have a 96 extra cab 8feet bed 12V I got cold air and a full 4" turbo back. not many mods truck is pretty stock. What I want to figure out is... My Good friend just got himself a 94 12V standard cab 8foot bed. He bought it being told the truck is stock no mods. Other than a shift kit Both trucks Auto tran. after he took me for a ride in his it made mine feel like a SLUG!! and I got the intake and full 4" this truck just pulls like a beast. there is no lag in his? mine once I hit OD and step on it will move but his felt like it was flying!! No big burst of black smoke on his I was thinking fuel plate but wont that make it smoke? would a shift kit make that big of a change? or does it sound like something is wrong with my tranny?

 

sliding the stock plate forward a small amount and turning the star wheel will make a night and day diff. with very little smoke. Like just haze kind of smoke. Shift kits are noticeable for sure especially with a good converter.

 

i have two 1994 12 5 speed 2wheel drive truck one came from the factory with the plate pushed all the way up and the other plate was all the way pushed back i would really like to know myself why they were like that

 

Would that be a bosch thing? Maybe they set it that way on the stand for correct calibration? Would be interesting to know.

 

the dads dad bought the truck special ordered for the manual and 1 week later my dads friend special ordered the same truck and the second special ordered truck was the one with the plate pushed all the way up and i was 10 and when he passed he left me the truck which once i got older i noticed the plates bewtween the two stock trucks

 

Will a shift kit help hold more power? stock Trannys are weak? is there a way to tell with out digging into it and see if someone has messed around the area of the fuel plate? I have been wanting to slide my fuel plate forever but I do not want to hurt my tranny there not cheap to replace. But if I knew I could get away with a little slide and not put to much load on my tranny I am game... Now what would be a good shift kit I have heard of DTT I think but if there are others not crazy money help me out. I want my truck to pick up and go.

 

look at the afc. stock should have three bolts and a tamper proof almost rivet looking bolt in the forward bolt hole closest to the engine. If it has a slash cut in it or a generic bolt installed somebody has been in there. A little bit wont hurt as long as youre not constantly beating on it. Shift kit will help a lot but, id also get a good converter. Id do those things wether you left the plate alone or not. Transgo shift kit, they work great.

A gm solenoid conversion, new transducer from the dealership and billet accumilator servo will all make improvements. you can usually get a low stall billet converter from your local shop for about $500-700. if you can't get one for that we can ship them.
