the easy way to get more air is to slide the plate back

Yah but giving the truck less fuel gives it a chance to get some more air into the system and allows it to breathe a little more

WHAT WOULD BE THE EASIEST AND LESS EXPENSIVE WAY TO GET MORE AIR WITH THE FUEL I'M GETTING NOW WITH THE PLATE LIKE I HAVE IT?AND DO YOU THINK THAT IS WHY I'M A LITTLE SLUGGISH OF THE START?

get an hx35/40 hybrid turbo with a 16cm housing there good for 550hp and there all the air you will need with mild mods, and there way less expensive than a performance turbo
