a #10 plate will put you at about 200hp. that is with the fuel plate in the stock location.

200 hp up from 160. not bad at all. i am thinking about doing my fuel plate (just got my 94 last week) later on today actually, and grinding it down myself. +40 HP sounds like a more manageable mod than say +80-100 or so or whatever the #0 does.

might ask some more questions and read up on a site or two other than this one before going ahead with things though. :p:

oh, and warren, i just realized now me and you have the same truck, buddy

as one image on another diesel site showed the 100 10 and 0 overlaying one another, i take it the 100 is the cross between the 10 and the 0... i have an image titled allplateprofiles.jpg that one user 12valve posted up, and from the looks of things my above saying is true, as the 100 just shaves off a certain notch the 10 has on it...

what exactly does that do for me? does it mean the 100 fuels harder/longer than the 10? im kinda confused on things, and an explanation would be great as i am wanting to tinker with the plate some time today or tomorrow at least....

Whit - how smooth does that curve on the 100 have to be ? Wonder if it makes much of a difference ?

Far as I know Doc, it doesn't need to be polished, just smooth. You want the governor arm to be able to slide up and down without much resistance.
