Default No plate?

So I have heard from many that running no plate is completely fine but I have been told that when running at higher rpm's (once a gsk is installed and you can fuel higher) that it can cause trouble. A little advice from those with experience would be much apreciated. I just done want to blow up my baby.
o and I am not going to do this until i tab the kdp and get gauges unforunately outting up hay has kept me so busy I can hardly even find time for that
TIA
Justin

No plate and runnin fine. If it's a driver I'd try a different grind on the stocker first for better street manners and smoke control.

hmmm well thats reassuring but i just dont understand where that rumor must have originateed and why if it is really just fine......something about the rack getting stuck open and basically lettin your engine run out of control I guess....so not too sure I guess we'll see what oothers have to add
o and btw I thought I filled out a sig thing but perhaps it was the wrong thing (I have spent a lot of time over at cummins forum and just started actually actively posting here but I like it a lot)
thanks
Justin

runnin no plate for a long time. it is IMPOSSIBLE to damage anyhting or have any negative consequences from not running one (besides some smoke). i dont care what anybody says it is harmless.
