Getting my 12 valve some more power
alright guys i know you can help me. this is what i have done. cold air take, 4 in exhaust, #5 fuel plate, star wheel is turn in half way. The thing hardly smokes at all. i'm wanting a way to get some smoke out of her and a little more power. I tow trailers allthrough indiana and thats my job when i'm not working on boats. the truck just needs a boost. but i'm limited amount of money bc i have a baby on the way. so i hope one of you guys can help me. thanks

Theres lots of threads here...you might be able to squeeze a little more power with a different fuel plate. Other than that you might have to buy some injectors - which will probably lead to a bigger turbo in a short time.

push the #5 plate full forward(free mod). tune the afc again (every one has a certain amount of turns but imo its best to find out what works for your combination and again its a free mod) did your plate come with a boost elbow? if so install it. if its already on there well how much boost are you getting and what are your egts?

have you done a boost elbow on it that helps out a little, also since it is a 95 correct? you can get a decent set of stock used injectors off of a new 5spd 12v which are 215 injectors cheap that will get you some more fuel. 3k gsk couldnt hurt I would stay away from the idea of just shimming your governor springs I had some major issues with that. also you can move the plate around. good luck hope this helped some. I know I built my 12ver on a budget
