grinding the fuel plate

I ground my stock plate like a 100, but it starts at the bottom about 1/16" up and then ramps up to full forward real fast, then straight up from there. Makes 10#'s more boost (40 psi) than the #11 plate I had in there. Not to mention, it doesn't put the coals to it on the low end when I'm trying to excellerate with a trailer on, which in turn means lower egt's on excelleration and I can actually get up to speed a bit quicker. Knowing this now, I would never 'buy' a plate again. I carved this same plate for a guy at work for his '97 which is stock other than this plate and it really woke it up.
The best idea I've seen is to put it on a dyno, start off with a baseline, take out the plate and grind it a bit (while the truck is still on the dyno) and do this again and again until you get the best results. You may need a few extra plates around in case you grind too much.

I am at a loss when I see guys post about this home ground plate deal.
Think about it first.....
He has a 94 Automatic truck which he wants to drop a ground plate in.IF you look at the specs on what TST shows for plates then you should know that a 100(a 10 on the bottom and a 0 on top) will do him little good.The best performing plate for a 94 is a 5(unless you have a old 4 which they do not offer anymore) so why would you want to make his grind a 10 down low?.The only trucks which respond to the 10 down low is a stick truck.
If I was doing one for him it would be a 5 down low and the 0 up top.However,If he has nothing done to the transmission then anything you do is just a waste of energy.......Andy
