Don't take the plate out. Its called a fuel stop plate for a reason AKA runaway.

Slide that plate all the way forward. Next, I would go 1 click tighter on the governor springs. I bet it would run much better. From there you need to go to a shop and have the timing bumped to 15.5*. When you go to a bigger plate, then bump it more. I like the #5 plate full forward and 17.5* timing. Good mix.

Gauges - MUST HAVE!

Are You SURE about this?.....

There are many reasons that a P-Pump may runaway but plateless is not one of them.

i have to concur..... i have ran a few years plateless myself, even did some dyno runs showing the difference between a 100 and plateless and posted the dyno sheet up on this site. that was with stock everything but exhaust and intake to the turbo, once i put in the 191's and 370's i couldn't run plateless as there was WAY too much fuel to burn so i stuck the 100 plate back in the stock location and went about my way.....

don't get me wrong, i'm not going to recommend running plateless but i am not going to condemn someone for doing it either.....

there is nothing wrong with running plateless FYI running a 0 FF is the same as no plate at all

I agree...I don't like to run with out it but it can and has been done. THe AFC does more to control things that the plate anyway when the plate if FF.

well the clutch is slipping NOW, but when the truck's ass end moves sideways, that's wheelspin.. roads up here are cold so it's not that hard
