Default fuel plate question

I'm looking for a good fuel plate for my 98' 12v, i've herd guys using #0 and #100, i want something that will put out more black smoke and that helps with HP. It also would be nice if i could get one that doesn't bring down my mpg to much, any suggestions?

Whats your CPL number on the Timing case?

Alot of folks like the number 6. Keep in mind there's more to it than the plate.
Feel free to give me a call tommorow and I'll be glad to talk it over with you!

black smoke does not always = horsepower ... and on that note black smoke = bad mpg
