pretty happy with my #100, but I came from a stock plate so of course it made a lot of difference.

I went from a #10 to a #100 and it wasn't a huge improvement.

would anyone advise to get a copy of my stock plate made, as i have access to a friend whom could make me a copy for dirt cheap, just in case? or what? i mean i am just being cautious as i am doing this before my planned transmission upgrade, and if its too much power for the tranny id like some way to be able to go back....

Doc, there was not a big change for me. The biggest change was a decent tranny.
Jeremy, you don't need to worry about a stock plate. If you need to tone down the power, just put the plate toward the rear and keep your foot out of it.

Id like to go with a 100 and 370's. But thats a LOT of fuel - dont think my turbo or tranny would be too impressed with that idea.....I better try the 370's first.

mt personal thoughts on that plate profile that Doc posted is that the 100 profile doesent have enough meat on it where it ramps up............I would leave more metal there ifin it was me

Guys heres the deal on these profiles........it aint rocket science and the profile doesnt hafta be perfect, dont be scared of cutting yer own plate it aint that hard at all
