tuning
 
i was wondering what alll i can do to make my truck perform better i have ground my plate down quite a bit slid all the way forward and i have an airfilter i have 5 inch exhaust on the way but im kinda new to some things i hear of people adjusting waste gates and messing with the afc and i was wondering what to do

biged681985 05-05-2011 08:57 AM

what plate profile did you grind it to?

91 12valve 05-06-2011 08:28 AM

well about that i just ground everything down to a flat grade the bottom is out a little further out than the top and at the top there might be a 1/8 inch at top and also with that my egts spike up really easy with no trailer i have not pulled yet since gauges but a know they will be high

which 5 inch will help egts though and i only get bout 29 psi of boost and thats it

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

my plate is close to a 100

a5 inch wont help egts alot. 29 psi sounds bout right for your mods.

the next thing i would look into would be 3-4k gov springs. there less than 100, but would have to look them up for the exact price. gov springs would realy wake your truck up :tu:

what can i do to lower my egts before long im gana fix the KDP do u think it would be a good idea to get a boost elbow what else can i do to build it all up

Have you made any adjustments to the AFC? If not, modifying the plate won't do much.

Very untrue^

Do as biged says and get some 3k gov springs. It will make it a completely different truck. You can also pull the afc apart and modify it as well and depending on you plate grind you can get more rack travel that way.

yeh i cranked it all the way out where the spring has no pressure is that the right way

Well you can actually pull it of the truck, grind the washers down flat and grind 1/8th inch of the barrel of the foot so it gets full travel.
