well with a 5 you will get alot more power than with a 12 or an eight i ran a 6 for a long time but now i am runnig a 100 it is easy on the drivetrain at take off but full fuel after that good luck with your decision

People really miss understand a 0 I think. I ran a zero for 6 months on a stock 47rh before it finnaly gave out. Any plate is easy on the driveline as long as you keep your foot out of it. You can do all the tuning that you want with any plate you want and punish the tranny if you drive like john force everytime you leave a stoplight. Yes a 5 is better then an 8 and an 8 is better then a 12.

i would look into getting a #100... i got mine after recieving the wrong plate and realized i wanted it. it sarts off like a stock plate, but after going it curves to full fuel. this means that even if you do forget and get on it, you shouldn't mess anything up but once your off the line it'll kick it up to full fuel.... which of course is nice
